The Montgomery County Fair is just about ready to open it’s gates once again for the 39th year in a row. Fair goers will still have all the events, vendors, and games, they have grown to love, with some new additions to lineup. Additionally, improvements to accessibility made around the fairgrounds, should make for an easier time for those with mobility issues. Marti Benning, Director for the Montgomery County Fair Board, talks some of those changes to expect this fair season.

Thanks to a recent grant, the Montgomery County Fairgrounds has made strides to make more buildings accessible. Benning says the projects have been slowed by recent weather but they look forward to seeing them finished.

Livestock showings remain a key feature of this years schedule. The Fair Board has moved certain showings to different days or times to increase participation.

Hailey Meyer, with the Montgomery County Fair, highlights the demo derby and the “power wheels” derby.
