Get ready for fun as PSD Night opens the 2025 edition of the Polk County Fair in Cedartown, a fundraiser for the Cedartown Exchange Club.

Polk School District Students and Staff get in free to the fair when gates open at 5 p.m.

The fair remains open tonight until 10 p.m.

Fairgoers will have several things on the list they can check out on opening night, with livestock shows for lambs and goats starting off the fun, and Student Playlist Night for musical entertainment.

Rides arrived on Tuesday and setup was completed this morning for everything from the Ferris Wheel to the kids-sized roller coaster, games, food and more.

The Exchange Club will be selling their famous footlong hotdogs, St. Bernadette’s Catholic Church will have tacos for sale, and a number of exhibitors have already gotten their booths setup in the exhibition hall at the front gates of the fairgrounds.

Additionally, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to collect tickets for a raffle they have underway for the 2025 Toys Express campaign. The lucky winner of the drawing set for October 1 will get a tri-fuel generator (gasoline, natural gas or propane.) Tickets are $5 per entry, and all proceeds will go toward purchasing toys and gifts during the holidays for youth in need and won’t otherwise have a Christmas.

Regular entry into the fair is $5 per adult and $3 per child.

Armbands tonight are $25 for unlimited rides.

Letters to Santa: First part of a big batch from YGES


Letterstosanta2024

What do they say when you’re in need: Ask and ye shall receive?

That’s what happened on Friday after I had waited for over a month for some more Letters to Santa to come in this year, and boy howdy did I get a haul!

This first batch of letters came in thanks to Mrs. Kirsch from Youngs Grove Elementary School. To make it easier on yours truly on the typing side of things, this year I’ve decided the easier route is to just post the letters as I received them as photos.

A second and third rounds of letters will be available through the rest of the week to ensure that Santa has no chance of missing this year’s wish lists (and timely letters of appreciation.) Note: this year’s batch included some drawings and such on the front and back of letters, so I have included both sides where applicable in the slideshow below.

You’ve got until this Friday, December 19 to finish sending your letters into polktoday@gmail.com to participate in this year’s round.

Merry Christmas to all!
