Fair organizer Sam Anderson recently asked county commissioners to attend the fair Sept. 10-14 at the county fairgrounds in Jasper.
“[We want commissioners] to help us promote the fair in their district,” Anderson said.
Events at this year’s fair will include music competitions, lawn mower racing, several beauty pageants, a pet show and a poultry show.
Mud racing was introduced last year, Anderson said, and quickly has become one of the most popular events.
