Since 1949, the Coosa Valley Fair in Rome has drawn attendees, exhibitors and agricultural students from across the Northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama area.  This marks the 74th year for the Coosa Valley Fair – AND it gets underway Tuesday, October 3rd and will run through Saturday, October 7th.   For 70 years, the fair has been sponsored as a service project by the Exchange Club of Rome Georgia, however the fair is actually managed by a separate organization – which is called the Coosa Valley Fair Association.

In addition to livestock shows and exhibits from businesses, the midway provides exiting rides for fair attendees meanwhile the “Wade Shows” organization provides family ride thrills that can be enjoyed by everyone!

Other events at this year’s Coosa Valley Fair include:

• Jurassic Kingdom
• Space Adventures Thrill Show
• Camp Carousal Petting Zoo
• Magician, Comedian, Emcee and Entertainer — Magician Michael Frisbee

Admission to the Fair is very affordable – children under six get in FREE and parking is FREE.
