2020 Grayson County Fair Cancelled
Dear Friends,
It is with much sadness and regret, that we the Grayson County Fair Board have decided to cancel the 2020 Grayson County Fair! For some it may be a welcomed decision, and to others a very upsetting one! After much debate, arguing, and some anger, the decision was made to cancel! The 70+ year tradition of the fair is not over but for this year it is simply postponed until next year! Our community matters to us and although many people have different views of this current pandemic situation, we simply do not feel that we can provide each of you with the best fair experience possible, and do it safely! We will be looking at options in the coming weeks to possibly hold a few events in the arena if we feel that we can adequately provide everyone an enjoyable event while doing our best to do it safely for you. We collaborated with local health officials, law enforcement, and various leaders in our community. While we feel like everyone is starving for some time out away from all of the confusion going on right now, we wouldn’t want to move forward at the expense of even one life! We truly love and appreciate everyone in our community. We wish you all continued health, prosperity, and safety as we work to put this behind us. Please don’t post negative comments about the decision or those members who had to make the tough decision, they honestly worked every angle to find a way to present it to you, it just wasn’t feasible to do so for the safety of you and your loved ones.

Welcome to the 72nd Annual Grayson County Fair
Welcome to the 2021 edition of the Grayson County Fair.
The fair board and the stockholders work hard to combine their efforts to bring our community the best possible fair experience. We now work with some of the top promotions in our area, as well as one of the best ride providers available.
You'll notice some price changes this year, and, while they are never popular, unfortunately, they are sometimes necessary. With maintenance, utility and insurance costs always increasing, we continually try to keep things in check. Instead of raising every night evenly, we decided to keep Tuesday and Wednesday at $10 per person all inclusive, and raised Thursday, Friday,and Saturday to $15 per person. We do understand it may not be popular at first, but our goal was to be able to accommodate everyone as much aspossible, regardless of income level, to enjoy the fair.
Many thanks to everyone who continues to come out and enjoy the Grayson County Fair,and we hope to see you there.
Tony Swift, Grayson County Fair President
