The Pana Tri-County Fair has a rich history behind it, as it now enters into the 76th year of it’s existence. Starting Wednesday, August 27th, and running through Monday, September 1st, the Fair has the typical fan favorites and even a new addition to the lineup. This year at the Pana Fairgrounds, professional wrestling will make it’s debut after community members helped decide what new event should make it’s way to town. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 28th, wrestlers will take the stage before the title match between “Hornswoggle” and “Microman.” Other special events are sprinkled into the 6 days, with the largest downstate Labor Day parade helping close things out.

Becky Michael, Secretary for the Pana Tri-County Fair, talks the newest event coming to Pana. Michael says this was something the community had called for and the Board is looking to deliver.
