Once the social event of the year for the county's rural families, it is now a week of midsummer magic that draws audiences from far and wide. Across the nation, county fairs have their roots in agriculture and are sustained by the active interest and participation of farm families. Jones County is no exception.
Agriculture is still the backbone of the Great Jones County Fair. In addition, an amazing slate of big-name entertainers sets the Fair apart. There are country stars. Comedy stars. Rock legends. Gold and platinum stars. Some on the way up. Most at the top. They pack the grandstands every night and back up traffic all the way to the airport. Combine this with the thrills and spills of stock car racing, demolition derby, harness racing, and the Midway's shows and rides. There is truly something for everyone.
