The Christian County Fair will see some slight changes to the timing and location of select events.  The changes are due to the organizers’ goal of introducing new traditions as well as expected increases in interest for other events.  The fair is scheduled for July 21-25.

Thursday, July 23 will see the re-introduction of a “truck pull” after a years-long hiatus.   Angela Ohl-Marsters, the fair’s director of marketing and promotions, says the Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pull will be featured at the grandstand. 

The wine gala returns to the fair.  However, it will take place alongside the beer tent instead of in the expo building. 

The Community Day vendor fair on Wednesday, July 22 will accommodate displays and giveaways by one of the fair’s sponsors, Farm & Home Supply.  Karl Drone, manager at the Taylorville location, says the company’s sponsorship is a major part of their community involvement. 

Ohl-Marsters anticipates the changes will further increase attendance and interest from people both within and outside the county.
