Spencer, Iowa — The nine-day run of the 2018 edition of the “World’s Greatest County Fair” came to a close Sunday night in Spencer.
Clay County Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons says the highlight of this year’s fair was the weather.
This was the 101st Clay County Fair. Many improvements were made to the fairgrounds in Spencer after the centennial year in 2017 and, according to Parsons, fairgoers are happy with the changes.
The Clay County Fair is billed as the “World’s Greatest County Fair.” The acts in front of the fair’s grandstand this year included Lee Brice, Tesla, Oak Ridge Boys, and Sesame Street Live!
An estimated attendance figure for the 2018 fair is still being tabulated, according to fair staff. But in 2017 more than 335,000 people attended the Fair.
The 2019 Clay County Fair is scheduled for September 7th through 15th.
