Guests enjoy first day of Dyer County Fair

DYERSBURG, Tenn. — The 70th annual Dyer County Fair kicked off for Labor Day on Monday.

Guests enjoyed floral and food preparations, beef cattle shows and Hogway Speedway racing pigs. There was also a soybean recipe cook-off.

Organizers say there is even more to look forward to in the days to come.

“Wednesday will be special-needs day. Thursday will be Senior Citizens day, so it will be something on the fairgrounds for those individuals all day long, and the fair will be open to the public at 5:30,” Dyer County Fair president Heath Pritchett said. “It just gives everybody an opportunity to experience the fair. There will be folks to assist so they can enjoy the fair like everybody else.”

The fair ends Saturday, Sept. 9.
