💚 THEY DESERVE A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE! 💚

If you saw everything happening behind the scenes at the Cocke County A&I Fair, then you already know just how special our Youth Fair Board truly is! 👏👏👏

These young people didn’t just show up for the fair—they SHOWED OUT! 🎡🎟️🐄🎤

From helping with events and activities to welcoming guests, assisting exhibitors, keeping things moving, participating in challenges, and jumping in wherever they were needed, our Youth Fair Board members proved that young people can make a BIG difference in their community!

They worked together.
They learned together.
They laughed together.
They solved problems together.
And most importantly, they served together. ❤️

The fair may be over, the midway may be gone, and the barns may be empty, but the memories and friendships these kids made will last far beyond fair week.

We are incredibly proud of every single member of the Cocke County A&I Youth Fair Board! You represented our fair, our county, and your families with hard work, dedication, and heart.

YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF THE COCKE COUNTY A&I FAIR—and we couldn’t be more excited to see what you accomplish next! 🌟

Everyone, help us give these incredible young people a HUGE round of applause! 👏👏👏

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! 💚🎡

🎡💙 AND JUST LIKE THAT… THE FAIR HAS COME TO AN END! 💙🎡

The midway is down and headed on to its next destination. The exhibits have been picked up, the barns are quiet, and the fairgrounds are empty once again. 🥹

But what a week it has been! From the rides and food to the exhibits, livestock, shows, contests, entertainment, and most importantly—the memories made with family and friends—we are so thankful to everyone who came out and supported the Cocke County A&I Fair! ❤️

📸 NOW WE WANT TO SEE YOUR FAIR MEMORIES! 📸

🏆🎤 HE CAME BACK TO RETAIN THE TITLE! 🎤🏆

Landon Cureton had one mission Wednesday night— to come back and retain his title as the Adult Individual Newports Got Talent 1st Place Winner! 🏆🔥

He faced some tough competition, but when Landon stepped onto that stage, he once again proved that he belongs there! 🎶👏

Landon absolutely ROCKED THE STAGE with his performance of Travis Tritt’s “Modern Day Bonny and Clyde”! 🤠🎤

Congratulations, Landon, on another incredible performance! You brought the energy, the talent, and the confidence — and once again, you showed everyone what you can do! 🎉👏

🎉🏆 SCAVENGER HUNT CHAMPIONS! 🏆🎉

A HUGE congratulations to Isabella Hall, Hadassah Henderson, and Makayla Moon for making a little Youth Fair Board history tonight as the FIRST Youth Fair Board Team to WIN our Scavenger Hunt! 🔎🗺️

Our Youth Fair Board members were divided into two teams and given a challenge: work together, follow the clues, and be the first fair team to successfully complete the scavenger hunt!

Isabella, Hadassah, and Makayla put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test and came out on top! 💪💙

And, of course, champions need prizes! They each walked away with a snazzy new water bottle, a keychain, and a snow cone! 🥤🔑🍧

We are so proud of these young ladies and ALL of our Youth Fair Board members for jumping into the challenge, working together, and having some fun along the way.

Congratulations, Isabella, Hadassah & Makayla! You officially have bragging rights until next year! 🏆🎡👏
