Vanderburgh County Fair to Feature Dustin Lynch and Family Fun [Schedule of Events]
The Vanderburgh County 4-H Fair kicks off July 19th, and promises a little something for everyone!
Come join us for one of the most fantastic events in Vanderburgh County. Bring the entire family out for a week of fun at the county fair. There are rides for the kids, a queen contest for mom, and a tractor pull for dad. Grab some tasty fair food such as a pork chop, a haystack, or ice cream.
More importantly, come and support the youth of the community. Take a look at all of the projects that showcase their talents. This event takes hundreds of volunteers to make it all happen. A special thanks to all of our volunteers. Most specifically to Rodney, Shanta, Penny, Sara, Sherry, and Beth for their efforts and dedication throughout the year. Enjoy the fair!
