The Great Anderson County Fair is celebrating its last week at the Anderson Sports and Entertainment Center starting Thursday through Sunday with sea lions, Ferris wheels and funnel cakes in tow.
The fair is estimated to attract more than 60,000 people to the county each year, according to a news release.
Other attractions include the Victoria Circus, Magic Man T.J. Hill and a midway exposition with rides and a petting zoo.
Admission is $7 and children age 10 and under can get in for free on all days. Today, all active, reserve and retired military veterans, as well as firefighters, law enforcement officers, health care workers and first responders also have free admission with a valid ID, according to the release.
