Who knew that Williamson County had its own fair every year? This is the third year for the Williamson County Fair, and the fun has already begun. August 2 – August 9, the fair boasts just about everything you could expect from a county fair. Concerts, pageants, rooster crowing contests, a mule pull, yodeling competitions, a BBQ cook-off, fireworks, a pig race, rides, and of course greasy foods that can only be found at the fair. Tickets are $6 with an additional charge for rides, but you can snag a $25 pass for unlimited rides after 5pm every weeknight.

Has anyone been to the Williamson County Fair, either this year or in the past few years? Let us know how it is in the comments… We still have time to go!

    I ran the first 5K they had out there and walked around a bit in the inaugural year. It's no Indiana State Fair, but it's still a nice little showing of Williamson County! It's not all Audis, BMWs, and wanna-be indie kids who spend all their time at Starbucks.
  • Margie and I went on Saturday and it was not what you'd expect from a fair really. There was an entire portion of the thing that was indoors and the seats that were inside were reserved for a company who had paid a fee. Where were we going to sit down and eat our fried Oreos and fried pickles and fried Baby Ruth and fried corndog and fried...you get the point.

    The midway was a little too safe and clean for a real fair. I never once felt like I'd turn my back and some carney would try to abduct my wife. It can't be authentic without being fearful of the "games o' chance" workers, can it?

    Anyway, it was only $6 to get in but I'd get there before 2 or you'll sit in traffic trying to get in the place. :)
