With summer in full swing and many activities back in a more normal routine, the community is enjoying many things that were absent over the past eighteen months. At the Rockingham County Fair, we know you’ve missed the gathering, the grandstand and the midway - just to name a few! On August 16 through the 21st, the Rockingham County Fair will operate within current guidelines for a full fair experience with the theme “Meet Me At The Fair!” With timeless favorites like the animal shows, homemaking contests, midway rides and food of all kinds, as well as new acts and adventures - the fair week will not disappoint!
