Warren County Youth Fair to expand, include rural heritage festival
Many area residents recall the heydays of the Warren County Youth Fair, when up to 10,000 people were drawn to its carnival rides, a midway, a pony pull, farm animal exhibits, and entertainment by prominent rock and country bands — and many have hoped for the fair to reclaim its glory days. This year, through a new collaborative effort planning the newly-titled county Rural Heritage Festival & Youth Fair may return to its former eminence.
