The countdown is on for the 2024 Chattooga County Agricultural Fair.  One week from today, the gates will open for the fair which was re-established 10 years-ago in 2014.  The fair council has been working all year in preparation for this year’s event. Multiple vendors will begin setting up at the fair grounds, located between the Chattooga County Ag Building and Summerville Middle School, throughout the week next week.   Thursday of next week is not only opening day, it is also “student night” at the fair, sponsored by The City of Summerville.  All students will get free gate admission.  There are plenty of things to see and do with a free kid’s zone that will feature a petting zoo, rock climbing wall and mechanical bull.  Students in the Chattooga County School System will have early release for the fair on Thursday, August 22nd and again on Friday August 23rd. Livestock entries for the fair are due by tomorrow, Friday, August 16th.
