New Attractions Planned for 1939 Athens County Fair
Athens officials including Parker and 18 fair board members have worked months to stage the 1939 Athens County Fair. The four day event will feature rides, shows, fireworks, and hundreds of exhibits with a midget cattle herd highlighted. Fireworks will light the midweek and weekend nights as the midway fills with tents and novelties.
