Happy Father’s Day from the Rusk County Fair Board!

The Rusk County Fair is filled with young people showcasing skills and accomplishments that wouldn’t be possible without the support, guidance, and dedication of the fathers and father figures standing behind them every step of the way.

Today, we celebrate and thank all the dads who invest their time, knowledge, and hearts into helping their children learn, grow, and succeed.

📸 Share a photo in the comments of your favorite fair memory with Dad!

✨Introducing our next Fairboard Member of our Spotlight series! Our Chair - Ready to take on anything at anytime! She brings out the best in everyone who gets to work alongside of her. Her drive and dedication to the Fair and surrounding communities is what this fair is made of. The true heartbeat of the Rusk County Fair! We could not do it without her! ❤️
Every great fair has a story — and it begins with the people who give their time, heart, and energy to make it happen.
Each week, we’ll be featuring one of the dedicated volunteers working behind the scenes to bring the Rusk County Fair to life.
