The 175th Logan County Fair officially opens this Sunday, July 6, with the Opening Ceremony and Royalty Contest taking place at noon at the Grandstand.
In celebration of the fair’s long-standing history, all former Logan County Fair Royalty are invited to a cookie reception at 10:30 a.m. in the pavilion, where they’ll join the 2024 royalty court for a special recognition event.
“We are excited about the continued growth of our Logan County Fair Royalty Contest,” said Mandi Wood, Fair Royalty Coordinator. “Our royalty program not only celebrates the talent, dedication, and service of our 4-H and FFA members, but also develops the personal growth of the young leaders in our county.”
This event kicks off a full week celebrating agriculture, youth, and community at one of Ohio’s oldest and most cherished county fairs.
