The Christian County Fair start date continues to creep closer with kickoff on July 26th. The Christian County Fair tends to be regarded as one of the best county fairs in the state, and has many major attractions like the Illinois State Championship Chili Cookoff, stock car races, and the demolition derby that sells out every year. Mike Drea, Secretary of the Christian County Fair Board said that they always try to make the fair a family friendly and fun event, and they also try to make it as diverse as possible so it can appeal to just about anyone.

One attraction that Drea made sure to highlight was the Helicopter rides they'll have every day from late afternoon until sundown.
