New this year to the Fairfield County Fair..a scarecrow trail at the 2022 Fairfield County Fair, thanks to a partnership with Visit Fairfield County and the Fairfield County Fairboard. Here’s the scoop… we are asking our Junior Fair Exhibitors and Royalty to help us educate fairgoers by creating their own scarecrows highlighting their livestock species or special interest at the County Fair Competitions. The scarecrow voting will take place the week of the Fairfield County Fair, October 9-15!! All fairgoers at the 172nd Fairfield County Fair will be encouraged to take a minute to look for the scarecrows around the livestock barns and historical buildings and VOTE for their favorite scarecrow!! The goal of this contest is to have FUN and educate our Fairgoers a bit about the livestock and youth organizations that are a large part of our Junior Fair program. The scarecrows will only be on display during County Fair Week. Come out and join the fun at the Fairfield County Fair..it is THE place to be the second week of October! !
