Few events capture Americana and a great day out (whether you go alone,
with friends, as a couple, or family) like State and County Fairs. From pig and horse racing to petting zoos, livestock and crafts exhibitions to thrill rides, food, fireworks and concerts…State and County Fairs have something for everyone.
One more common thread at fairs is military discounts. The amount and type of discount varies greatly from fair to fair, from a few bucks off to free admission and free rides.
Some fairs have yet to release their information for 2014…We will update this post as that information becomes available.
