The Columbia County Fair begins on Wednesday Sept. 2 and runs through Labor Day, Sept. 7th. Have you chosen your entries for the Wool Booth? There are two important dates to keep in mind. You need to register your entries by Friday August 15th on the Fair’s website. You can stop by the office in person if can’t use the website from home. The second important date is Sunday Aug. 30th, from 2 to 6 pm when you deliver your items to the Wool Booth.
The Fair is celebrating the nation’s 250th Anniversary with the 2026 Fairgoer’s Favorite Special Contest. The contest’s theme is red, white, and blue. Your entry (hat, socks, shawl, sweater, hooked rug, needlefelted item, handspun yarn, to name a few examples) will be displayed in a special area for fairgoers to vote for their favorite. The item with the most votes wins a prize! Remember that your item for this contest must meet Wool Booth criteria and be entered in a division and class. Details are available at columbiafair.com. See you at the Fair!
