With the county fair season upon us, there are many sites throughout Central Illinois that will be bustling with events and competitions to kick the summer off right. The Montgomery County Fair is no different. To learn all the insights about the Montgomery County Fair, The WTIM Morning Show was joined by three members involved with the fair activities. Marty Benning, the Secretary for the Board of Directors, Haley Meyer a member of the junior board, and her sister, Caragin, who is not yet old enough to be on the junior board but has the passion and aspirations to participate one day.

This year's fair kicks off on June 21st-25th. Marty Benning began with the logistics of the fair.

Marty Benning has seen many years of the Montgomery County Fair. The purchasing of the carnival rides has been the difference that keeps attendance and participation high. Benning Explains that one of her favorite parts of the fair is the queen contest.

The queen contest and carnival rides are just some of the activities to look forward to at the Montgomery County Fair. Marty Benning dives into the daily schedules with registration sign-up times.

Karaoke, tractor pulls and a demolition derby will fill the days of the Montgomery County Fair. A more recent event that has brought new popularity is the motocross racing that will be featured at the fair.
