The Smith County Fair welcomes everyone to enjoy the fair and have a memorable experience.
In order to make our fair safe, we hope you will understand that there are some things that we cannot allow the General Public to operate inside the grounds: • NO SKATEBOARDS • NO BICYCLES • NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES OF ANY KIND
Any person with a disability will be allowed to use a wheelchair or any single-occupancy electric vehicle that is recognized by a healthcare professional as a mode of transportation for a disabled person. We do ask that these vehicles have a handicap placard visible.
