Tickets purchased for the 2020 Jackson County Fair will be honored for the rescheduled 2021 dates noted above.
The fair is working closely with MSU Extension to provide a virtual project showcase opportunity to 4-H and FFA youth exhibitors. Details will be provided in the near future.
2020 was planned to include two big celebrations as part of the fair: the Grand Opening of the new Keeley Park and the 100th Anniversary of the Grandstand. Both celebrations will be “even bigger in 2021” according the the fair board.
