125th Anniversary County Fair and Colonel Parker's Birthday
Since County Fair’s inception in 1902, this fall celebration has been an opportunity for students to make products, organize activities, and share them with the community. This event requires group cooperation and organization at every grade level and builds a sense of responsibility and ownership, giving each child the chance to contribute to the community through their efforts. Parents, guardians, and grandparents are invited to come to the fair.
