It's County Fair Season in the 315! Booneville-Oneida County Fair and Madison County Fair Kick Off this Week: Edition #15

Edition 15 - July 23 to July 29

It’s county fair time in the 315. This week, the Booneville-Oneida County Fair is in full swing. Also, the Madison County Fair is this week with a special musical performance, Darryl Worley. Both are great family-friendly times to check out the community, try good food, and see some local and national music.

July 25th is National Wine and Cheese Day, two treats we can find easily in the 315. Head out and enjoy your favorite winery and have a slice of locally made cheese too. Let us know how you celebrate it.
