Union County Fair time

Late August means that it is time for the renewal of another Union County tradition.

The 2009 Union County Fair is scheduled next week. Again this year, the fair will be at Anna City Park in Anna.

This year’s schedule of activities at the fair offers a wide range of attractions and events. The schedule includes a queen pageant, a community worship service, a horse show, a car show, go kart racing, championship rodeo action, a tractor pull, a “Union County’s Got Talent” program and two big demolition derbies.

The fair also will feature a wide range of exhibits, including livestock and locally grown produce and crops.

Midway carnival rides and lots of other treats await those who will be visiting the fair.

The Union County Fair offers us a chance to say “goodbye” to summer and pay tribute to our community’s rich agricultural heritage. Be sure to attend the 2009 Union County Fair.
