This year was my first year of visiting the Elbert County Fair. I have a one-year-old and a three-year-old and they absolutely loved the fair. They loved seeing all of the animals. There are buildings that have in goats, sheep, pigs, cows, rabbits, chickens, and even turkeys in them. They've got lots of 4H competitions here. Also make sure to check out the agricultural building to see items like quilts, plants, and pictures in the general exhibits. In terms of food and drinks I absolutely loved the lemonade truck. They have so many awesome flavors to try. I recommend coming the second weekend that the fair runs, that is when they have the free rides and activities for kids. Some examples are face painting, a mini train, bouncy houses, and a petting zoo. Check the calendar to see what events they have going on. They've got a parade, mutton bustin, rodeo, fireworks, and more. read more

The fair was great time for the family. It goes on through 2 weekends and had a lot of things such as mutton bustin' (smaller kids riding sheep, bareback, with helmets), tractor pulls, horse shows, cattle/sheep/lamb/dog shows and competitions, touch-a-truck, animal auctions, and rides. The rides were only the last 2 days or so, but they were all free. They had some rotating rides, bounce houses, the large inflatable balls you can go inside within a large pool, zip-lining, and a video game truck. The food trucks and concession stand were also decent. The whole event is basically free and you only end up paying for food, drinks, and any trinkets you want from the trade show. read more
