Lincoln County Fair

With roots stretching back to the 1800s, the Lincoln County Fair has long been a beloved annual tradition, though its modern era officially began in 1906. Each September, the fairgrounds come alive with a vibrant mix of livestock competitions, craft displays, and entertainment that showcase the best of the community's talents and agriculture. The crown jewel of the week, however, has always been the afternoon harness races held on most days—a thrilling spectacle that draws crowds to the rail. These photographs capture the spirit of those "days gone by," preserving the timeless excitement and pageantry of the fair.
