Anderson County Fair history given to archives
The Oak Ridger
CLINTON – An historical record of the Anderson County Fair and Stock Association, dating back to Aug. 24, 1889, has been given to the county’s Archives and Records Department.
Mick Wiest, a founding member and executive director of the Oak Ridge Heritage & Preservation Association, recently brought the Fair history book to the Archives at the Anderson County Courthouse. The book will be on display at next week’s Anderson County Fair.
“The fact that this book is in as good condition as it is, is astonishing,” Anderson County Archivist Zach Foster said of the leather-bound book. “It’s been preserved incredibly well,” he said in a news release.
