A group of volunteers are busy putting together the first Cherokee County Fair since the 1950s that will be held in Centre, Alabama.

A representative of the group addressed the Cherokee County Commission during its Monday planning session.

The group is seeking just over $3,600 from the county to help market November’s FFA Agriculture Fair.  The group says the event will hopefully help make today’s students interested in a career in agriculture.

The Cherokee County Commission took no action, but did express interest in supporting the agricultural fair.
