It’s “An American Tradition.” That’s the theme for the 48th annual Elizabethtown Fair, which will begin on Monday, Aug. 23, and run through Saturday, Aug. 28. The theme sums up the fair perfectly, said Sally Nolt, fair secretary, who noted that the fair committee is ready to go after having to cancel last year’s fair. “We’re back after a year off, and we’re back in full force,” she said. “You can see
all of things you’d expect to see. We rebooked all of the entertainment from last year.” The fair will feature rides, games, food, agricultural exhibits, livestock shows, competitions and more. “We really have something for all ages, from the baby contest to the Senior Citizens’ Day and all ages in between,” she stated. Nolt cautioned that although the fair is back in full form, some vendors may be missing, and some rides may not operate. “The only

issue we’ve run into so far this year is help. We have several stands who won’t be here this year because they just couldn’t find people to help them run them,” she explained. “We’ll also have fewer rides for the kids for the same reason.” Help is also needed to run the horseshoe pitch contest, she said, or the event will be canceled. Still, the fair will feature traditions such as the Fair Queen competition and popular food, including Grange milkshakes. “The petting zoo is always fun,” Nolt remarked. “We also have the Rock N Roll Pet Store. That’s new this year. He’ll be doing activities for kids.” Nolt encouraged fairgoers to check out the exhibits located in the adjacent Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church. “We have really nice exhibits, and some people may not be aware that they are there,” she said, adding that the exhibits will feature flowers, vegetables, art, photography, crafts and
baked goods. Nolt, who has been secretary for the fair for 37 years, said the event attracts people from across the state who come for the fun. “We’re a free fair, and I think that’s a big draw,” she commented. “I often get people telling me, ‘Thank you’ because it’s free.” Planning for the fair happens year-round, she noted, adding that the community is invited to help with the fair or offer input at board meetings. “The fair provides an opportunity for the community to socialize,” she said. “It’s a chance for local businesses to showcase themselves. For a lot of churches and businesses that participate, this is their primary fundraiser. It’s an opportunity for kids to show their animals or auction them off. ... We just have wonderful community support for the fair.” The Elizabethtown Fair will run from 5 to 11 p.m. on Aug. 23 and from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 24, through Aug. 28. It will be held at the fairgrounds, 900 E. High St. For more information, visit www.etownfair.org.
