The Christian County Fair start date is less than a month away and the Fair Board is doing everything they can to get the public ready for it. The Fair starts on Tuesday July 26th, and is a week later than it normally is to make sure that it can have the same carnival that the community has enjoyed for years past. Jim Olive, Christian County Fair Board President, said the start date won't be the only thing new for the fair this year, but to expect some new events, especially during the night of pageants.

Olive also highlighted the horticulture and agricultural events that will be taking place during the fair.
