The Marion County Fair will return in its normal capacity this year after last year’s fair was limited to exhibitors. Marion County Extension Youth Coordinator Mindy Hardman says that registration for livestock is due in less than two weeks.

“For our static exhibits, our Dyer-Hudson projects, we don’t require any pre-registration. But if you’re showing livestock, that is absolutely due July 1st. It’s a different process for families this year because we switched to an online system, so I’m really encouraging them to take care of it way ahead of time. If it’s past July 1st, it’s past July 1st, so get on those deadlines and get your livestock entered for the fair.”

All livestock will be stalled at the fairgrounds for the entirety of this year’s fair. The 2021 Marion County Fair runs July 16th-22nd in Knoxville.
