The Robertson County Fair Association will be having their 2018 fair demolition derby on August 25th at 7 p.m. The fair board has strived to make major improvements to your experience when visiting the fair grounds. ADA compliant bleachers along with concrete ramps and walkways leading you to the bleachers on the concession stand side of the grounds have greatly improved the viewer experience along with new sound system and led lighting. With bathrooms and concession stand (with many food and drink options available) being just a few steps away we think you’ll enjoy your visit!
