About The Jefferson County Fair
Jefferson County was first developed as an agricultural area and today large, well kept and managed farms dot the countryside. As expected there have been changes made in agricultural life, and the county fair has tried to keep pace with those improvements. There is no doubt the Jefferson County Fair has brought about a better understanding and relationship between the rural and urban sections of the county, which aid each other in overall growth. Although the fair is devoted primarily to showing what is being done by farmers and farm organizations in the county, fair officials, in keeping with the times and advancements, are extending the fair’s program so it includes commercial enterprises and industrial organizations of the county. Tourism has not been forgotten, as the officials of the Jefferson County Fair stress all endeavors and businesses that lead to the growth of the financial life of the area. The Jefferson County Agricultural Society is is getting ready for the 207th Jefferson County Fair. It is the oldest continuous operating fair in the United States.
