One of the great joys of a bygone era in towns across the country, and way before Facebook and even television, was the arrival of the old fashioned fair.

Townspeople flocked to to the fair to eat cotton candy and fresh hot peanuts and be entertained by wondrous side shows. There were rides a plenty for the little ones.

If you miss those days of joy and excitement, the local Rotary in Social Circle is continuing that tradition from Sept. 6 - Sept. 10.

There will be gospel nights, bluegrass music shows and helicopter rides. There will also be rides and games galore.

For more information, check future editions of The Covington News or talk to any Rotary member.

The Social Circle Rotary is the sponsor of this family event and all profits are returned to the community, supporting the SDCCS scholarship fund and the Furst project.

Make sure to mark your calendar for this exciting event. The money you spend will not only provide your family with an enjoyable evening but will support your community through the efforts of the Social Circle Rotary.
