It's County Fair Time!
Category: Fun Facts
Ah, Illinois county fairs. Each one is a veritable mecca of fried food, livestock, carnival games, live entertainment, and fierce competitions involving demo derby cars and smiling teen queens (though, fortunately, not at the same time).
County fairs offer a smaller-scale taste of the big state fair held in Springfield August 14–23. See for yourself by visiting one of these Central Illinois county fairs in July and August. Whether you go for the corn dogs and funnel cakes or the tractor pulls and carnival rides, you won’t be disappointed.
