Mid-South Fair

From Mid-South Fair Website:

The original and still the best, the Mid-South Fair has entertained families since 1856. We've hosted superstars, launched careers, and made memories for people of all ages.

As a non-profit organization, our mission is not to make money. Rather, the Fair exists to create a cultural and entertainment experience that exposes the people in our community to items and events they might not otherwise encounter. In addition, we serve as a focal point for all sorts of organizations and communities.

So when you visit the Fair, you're not just having a great time. Youre helping to keep tradition alive.

The Fair is governed by a board of directors, operated by a full-time staff and funded by sponsorships and donations. Since 2001, the Fair has given out $64,000 in educational scholarships for excellence in Youth Talent, Creative Arts, and Agriculture.
