Gates open for 5 p.m. start and will be open to patrons until 10 p.m. tonight as organizers honor seniors, first responders, law enforcement and military personnel for the second night of the Polk County Fair.
Fairgoers on Wednesday got to enjoy the Miss Polk County Fair Pageant and music by Will Terry, as well as opening night rides, various businesses and organizations within the exhibition hall, and the annual lamb and goat show during the opening night of the annual event.
Here’s some photos from early evening on Wednesday at the fairground.
Make sure to check back later today for additional video coverage for subscribers of the Miss Polk County Fair pageant (all but the awards ceremony, the camera I was using for this ran out of juice…)
Tonight’s fair has plenty to offer, so make sure to come out and celebrate for the second night of the fair. Check out the lineup below, and take a look (for) the Fair photo gallery for subscribers as well.
Our booth will finally be manned for a bit this evening (it was a busy, busy Wednesday) so stop by sometime after 7 p.m. to say hey if you want!
Fair Forecast
There’s a slight chance for some rain and thunderstorms (only 10%) but fortunately, the National Weather Service is calling for mostly sunny skies through the rest of the day and into the early evening hours. Look for temps to get up to 83 for the day, and start dipping down as the sun sets.
Chances for rain continue into the overnight hours with a low of 67 expected. Friday is when the fair might turn muddy, with much greater chances for rain during the day, and showers and thunderstorms expected for Day 3 of the fair.
But like all Georgia weather: stick around for a bit, it’ll change before you know it.
