Greene County Junior Fair Going on Now!

By

The Greene County Agricultural Society’ presents the 181st ‘Greene County Fair’ through Saturday, August 8, 2020 at the Greene County Fairgrounds, 120 Fairground Road. Xenia, OH.

“We are absolutely thrilled, in these unusual times, to present a smaller version of our fair.” said Dan Bullen, a director for the Greene County Agricultural Society.

“We went above & beyond the state guidelines to protect our fairgoers with masks, social distancing, sanitizing stations and limited access to our buildings, but after consulting with the Greene County Combined Health District they strongly recommended its best to scale back.” he added.

A small array of food vendors is set-up and serving all your favorites. Also, big news, attend the fair for free while enjoying lunch or dinner. Here’s how it works.

Lunch: 11-1
Dinner: 5-8

Buy a special admission ticket at the gate and if you leave before the end of the time posted above you will get your money back. Great way to enjoy some great fair food and support our awesome food vendors. An offer you can’t refuse.
