This October marks the 48th year for our Autauga County Fair. This community event was rescued three years ago when a new Autauga County Fair
Organization was formed in an effort to keep this tradition going. Who are we?
- We are ALL volunteers and have NO paid employees.
- We offer free booth space to all non-profit and youth groups and believe in supporting the efforts of volunteers in programs throughout our
community.
- We use the money earned from these events to pay for the expenses associated with hosting a fair, for the entertainment provided, and donate to various non-profit
volunteer and youth groups who help us host Autauga County Fairs.
