The first Friday in August marks the return of the Williamson County Fair, with longtime favorites and a variety of exciting new attractions coming to the AgExpo Park August 4 – 12. Discounted advance sale tickets are available online now through August 3.
In line with the Fair’s theme, “Livin’ for the Ribbon,” the Creative and Culinary Arts Departments have added exciting contests including Decorative Artisan Bread sponsored by King Arthur Baking Co.; Fair Themed Gingerbread Houses; Artificial Floral Arrangements; and Crocheted or Knitted Newborn Blankets, just to name a few. Thanks to the Fair’s ongoing commitment to give back to the community, all newborn blanket entries will be donated to the Williamson Health Foundation.
New additions!
Two thrilling new additions to the fairgrounds are the Sub-Zero, a breathtaking ride which spins and rotates 60 feet in the air, and the Ninja Experience, an action-packed show where top athletes test their strength and agility on an intense obstacle course.
