ORANGE COUNTY FAIR INFORMATION

The Orange County 4-H Fair is held annually at the Orange County Fairgrounds located on West Daniel Lane, Paoli Indiana. This time honored tradition gives local youth the opportunity to show off their hard work, and dedication to local agriculture as well as highlight their unique special interests and talents.

The Orange County 4-H Fair offers daily events including livestock shows, friendly tournament games, 4-H Exhibit Hall full of local 4-H'ers projects, Kids Activity Hour, Fair Food and Fun.
