Not only can you win prize money, but also the satisfaction of having your work admired by fellow fairgoers.

Let’s not forget about the animals! Witness or participate in the thrilling livestock shows featuring dairy cows, poultry, rabbits, horses, goats, and more. Be sure to catch the K-9 show or take a leisurely stroll through the animal exhibits, where you can admire an array of farm animals, from goats and sheep to ponies and cows, all on display thanks to the dedicated efforts of 4-H youth and volunteers.

At its heart, the Coweta County Fair symbolizes more than just exhilarating rides and tantalizing flavors. It stands as a cherished celebration of community, uniting neighbors and friends in honor of shared traditions and the creation of lasting memories. The laughter of children experiencing the fair for the first time intertwines with the nostalgia in the eyes of older generations, evoking fond memories of fairs past.
