As one local mom recently described the 107th Annual Crawford County Fair, “this is our sport”. Kids from throughout the county work all year long to be able to show off their efforts during this one week “performance”. (By the way, most of these kids also play sports, act in plays, play music, and all of those other things as well). This is your chance to cheer them on for their efforts.
The fair board strives to have something for everyone during fair week whether that’s agriculture related, live music, a carnival, shopping, or great food.
The fair is scheduled for August 2-5, 2023 at the Crawford County Fairground located at 249 East Kansas-47, just east of Girard, Kansas.
