Jackson County Fair

From Jackson County Fair Website:

The Jackson County Fair takes place traditionally during the 3rd week of October. It is eight straight days of spinning rides, livestock exhibits, live entertainment, local vendors, and gumbo!

Live entertainment ranging from music and dance groups to a talent show and dog show will be provided on the indoor Civic Center stage and at the Barn.

Rides will be open at 4 p.m. from Oct. 20-24 and earlier throughout the weekend.
The Commercial Booths in the Civic Center will open on Oct. 21-26 at 9 a.m. Its a great place to meet some of the candidates running for office while shopping for some unique gift ideas for the approaching holidays!
The Livestock Barn opens on Oct. 22-26 at 9 a.m.
The Arts Building opens on Oct. 22-26 at 7 p.m.
Jackson County citizens age 70 and above are invited to the Old Settlers Day Lunch at the fair on Thursday, Oct. 24. Lunch tickets can be picked up from 9:30 a.m. 11 a.m. at a tent in front of the Arts Building that day.
The food is another ingredient to the Fairs on-going success. Along with midway food vendors, the food booth pavilion, located at the northwest corner of the fairgrounds, houses 10 individual food booths and room for hundreds to dine comfortably under a single covered facility no matter what the weather is like.



The Jackson County Fair is a week long event with youth activities, arts & crafts, live music, vendor booths, livestock shows, food and rides.
