The Coffee County Fair Association announced that, although the fair is set to happen this year, pageants will not be a part of this year’s festivities.
“Our biggest question has been that of pageants and if they will take place this year. Unfortunately, the answer is no. We hesitated in trying to make the best decision possible and understand that we cannot make everyone happy, but hope you all will understand. This year’s state pageant will not take place, therefore, our Fairest winner would not have a place to compete and with our rules and guidelines would not be able to compete the following year. Please know this wasn’t an easy decision! We look forward to seeing all your gorgeous kiddos next fall,” states the Coffee County Fair Association in a social media post.
