Vicki Aubrey Welch, District 13 & the Fairdale Fair Board, Inc, Sponsors

Over 1,000 people are expected to visit the fair, a community tradition for 85 years offering games, booths, food, entertainment, crafts and rides – all of which gets underway on Friday and continues on Saturday evening. The Fairdale Community Club will host the Homemakers Contest, and The Fairdale Lions Club will provide fish and pulled pork meals, along with food trucks available for other choices.   District 13 will provide a Local Government informational booth.

“I would like to express my appreciation to LMPD Division 3 and the Jefferson Co Sheriff’s Office for their security services throughout the fair.  Also, the Jefferson Co Attorney’s Office DUI Diversion Program is very helpful for cleanup efforts after the fair. Of course,  it goes without saying how much work is done by the members of the Fairdale Fair Board, Inc. to keep this festival going all these years. A hearty THANK  YOU to all involved!”
