Contest winners at this year’s Walker County Agricultural Fair, running Nov. 3-6, will be able to move up to competitions at the state level thanks to its official dedication as a state fair.
“This is [the fair’s] third year, but the first year it is an official state fair,” said Walker County Commissioner Bebe Heiskell. “So if you win a contest, you can go to the state level and then to the national level. So if you want to be Miss Georgia or Miss Teen USA, you can start out winning the Miss Walker County Agricultural State Fair.”
That ability to move up in the competition goes for other events – ranging from canning to quilting to woodworking to livestock shows – being held at the fair, too, Heiskell said. Walker County 4-H and Future Farmers of America groups will show their farm animals, and the show barn on the grounds will host a rabbit show Saturday at 2 p.m. followed by a chicken auction at 6 p.m.
In addition to competitive events, the fair will also feature a carnival, sorting horse show, a petting zoo, cruise-in car show and antique tractor show.
