The last day to enjoy the Wilson County Fair/Tennessee State Fair is Saturday, August 24th.
“Thank you to all the city employees from all departments who participated in the city’s booth during the fair week. It is an excellent opportunity to highlight city government and answer people’s questions. I enjoy playing trivia, seeing many of our long-time residents and meeting some for the first time. I especially want to thank the Lebanon Police and Fire Departments for all the overtime they put in this week and for helping to ensure everyone has a safe time at the fair,” Mayor Rick Bell said on Facebook on Friday.
There is still so much to see this Friday and Saturday! Exciting rides, food, concerts, monster trucks, parades, live music and much more! Find the program here.
