Adams County Fair

There is something about the Adams County Fair that makes me very happy.

The 2015 edition of the Adams County Fair, outside Mendon, Illinois, is being held July 29 through August 4. This years theme is "Experience the Difference."

The Adams County Fair is expanding.  A ribbon cutting for a new horse barn is being planed for Monday, July 6 at 9:30 a.m. north of Quincy on route 336.

Here are key dates for some of Quincy's favorite annual events and activities in 2015. 

Every year I go to the Adams County Fair on one night only.

The Adams County Fair gets underway soon. Thousands go to the fairgrounds every year for fun, relaxation, good food and entertainment, but there had to be a beginning to the event, and the Adams County Fair is knee-deep in history.

It is that time of year for family fun, bull riding and pretty girls.

The 2013 addition of the Adams County Fair has come to an end and the weather was perfect!

Nothing could be more horrific than losing a child. We hear about missing children all the time on the national news and think that it only happens elsewhere.  Within the last couple of years it has happened here with a missing daughter of a Hannibal family and a missing girl in Louisiana, Missouri.
