Fall is coming, school is back in session, football season has started, and baseball is winding up. It is time for the Sumter County Fair. This year the fair opens on September 29, 2009 and runs until midnight on October 3 at the Sumter County Fairgrounds on Liberty Street.
The fair first opened in 1933 and has been going ever since. Fair week has been a time for local people, young and old, to share their hard work growing that perfect corn, the award winning rabbit, making the soft, warm quilt, or that great jar of pickles. Toss in the carnival rides, cotton candy, smoked sausage, or lately, anything that can be fried (remember the fried twinkies?), stage acts, and numerous displays, and you have the setting for the fall event called the Sumter County Fair.
Final plans are being made and the work to bring this event another year has already started. Make your plans now so you will not be surprised, when the "fair is in town".
