By The Herald Staff The Anderson County Fair returns to a full session this year. Fair association president Kirby Barnes said the fair board can’t wait to bring a full fair back this year after last year’s abbreviated version that was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re just glad to bring back the traditional fair with all the bells and whistles,” Barnes said. “We think this is a lineup that’s going to make up for some lost time from last year and we hope people will come out and enjoy it.” The fair runs July 24-31 with 4-H exhibits and events, the traditional midway carnival and a few new events thrown in.
