2008 HOPKINS COUNTY FALL FESTIVAL

Welcome to The Hopkins County Fall Festival…           "Your County Fair"

Thirty-nine (39) years of providing top entertainment and exciting exhibits has made Hopkins County Fall Festival the biggest single event of the year in this area. We attract not only local citizens but folks from all over Texas as well as many other states. Vendors from all over the United States are anxious to display their product in the Commercial Exhibit spaces and I am happy to report that local vendors actively participate in the fair.

There is something for everyone to do; A Petting Zoo, Antique Tractor Pull, Arts and Crafts Sale, Household Arts Exhibits, 42 Tournament, Senior Citizens Day, Quilt Show, Golf-Tournament, “Cover-Girl” contest, Youth Fishing contest, the traditional Carnival, Barbeque cook-off, Gospel Concert, over 75 Commercial Exhibitors, strolling clowns and Magicians, Guitar Hero, Pet Show, Friday night Street Dance, the “World Famous” Hopkins County Stew Cook-off, a Duck Race plus so much more. Then we top it off with StarNite On Saturday, September 20^th featuring Nashville star, “Keith Anderson,” along with the Texas based band, “Exit 110.”

I am proud to be working with the Fair Board and their committee members who are dedicated to producing a Fair that Hopkins County and their guests can be proud of. The Festival is held at the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center and while some events require a fee, it is for the most part a free fair. We are so fortunate to have Corporate Sponsors that make it possible for you to enjoy most of the entertainment for “free.” For that we are very grateful.

This is a special invitation for you to come out and enjoy the Hopkins County Fall Festival 2008. I’m confident you will find an activity, see an old friend or something that will give you pleasure and create wonderful memories as you stroll the festival grounds.
