Each booth and each entry was deserving of a blue ribbon, Sneed said. “We congratulation those who won prizes and thank everyone for their participation.”

The entertainment for the Pike County Fair will continue from center stage each night. And, the entertainment is worth the price of admission. So, come, enjoy the flavor of the Pike County Fair while enjoying some of the best musical entertainment around.

On TuesdayTuesday, Erick Hasten from Montgomery will take center stage with country, Rhythm and Blues. Hasten will be the first in five nights of outstanding singer/musicians. Sneed said there will be plenty of festival foods to enjoy while enjoying the music.

Jackson Chase, a country singer from Nashville, will be the featured entertainer on Wednesday night. On Thursday night, Pike County’s own, Morgan and Weston Brown, will be back by popular demand. The Elvis & Loretta Lynn Tribute Show on Friday night will feature Jerome Jackson and Pam Jackson. On Saturday night, Rylee Austin from Greenville will take center stage and close out the show.”

Sneed said those who enjoy county fairs are encouraged to pick and choose a night or nights to attend the Troy Shrine Club’s 20023 Pike County Fair. Either night will be the best ticket in town, Sneed said.
