Sumner County Fair returns next week

The Sumner County Fair returns with carnival rides and a week-long schedule of events that start Monday.

The 73rd annual event will take place July 9-14 at the Sumner County Fairgrounds, located at 222 Fairgrounds Rd. in Gallatin.

This year’s fair will be held two months earlier than it was last year when organizers were forced to move it to September as the result of a scheduling conflict with their carnival provider.

“It was just a little too late last year,” Sumner County Fair Association President Tommy Womack said. “Now, kids are out of school and we don’t have to worry about them not being here. I think it will work a lot better in July.”

In addition to carnival rides, other popular events scheduled to take place include several beauty contests and a classic car cruise-in. Organizers estimate up to 12,000 people could visit the fair throughout the week.

Admission is $5 daily and free for children younger than 8 years old. Gates open every night at 5 p.m.
