The GREATEST County Fair on Earth… at least we
think so! Kids of all ages will enjoy nine fun-filled days of activities
at the Darke County Fairgrounds in Greenville. Events such as harness
racing, music concerts, cheerleading contests, high school band
concerts, tractor/truck pulls, draft horse pulls, demolition derby,
livestock shows/sales, junior fair activities, flower show, domestic &
fine arts shows, farm garden displays, show horse & pony shows, mule &
donkey shows, free midway shows, carnival games, arcade games and food
vendors. Gates open from 7:00 am until midnight, every day. Each year
we’re surprised with the talent that comes into Greenville to entertain
fairgoers with a Sunday evening concert. Past concerts have featured
Lady Antebellum, REO, and Styx.
What makes this fair special is what really puts
the "Great’’ in Great Darke County Fair…the people. This means from the
ticket taker to the board president and from the ride operator to the
person who sells balls at the games. From the people who nightly spruce
up the grounds to the harness racing drivers and trainers. From the
snow cone lady to the French fry guy – they all help put the “Great” in
our fair. But the Greatest part of all is when the gates are at long
last thrown open to one and all - to children of all ages.
