If there’s one thing we love about summer, it’s that summer means CLARKE COUNTY FAIR TIME!
The Clarke County Fair begins Monday, the 13th of July, and we can barely contain our excitement. This year’s fair has so many activities, from animal and livestock exhibits to food and music, we wanted to put it all in one location for our readers to share.
The information below has been gathered from multiple resources throughout the web and throughout Clarke County. Of course, if we’ve forgotten ANYTHING, we want to add it to the list. Please send it through our “Submit Your News Story” page and we’ll make sure to have it included as soon as possible.
