Next Week is FAIR WEEK!!

It will be the 83rd Lamar Free Fair and we are in full swing with getting ready!

We have a new messaging system that we will utilize for the fair. You can scan the QR code below or text "83lamarfair" to 618-589-1337

This system will broadcast updates throughout the fair, but only related to the fair. This does not change any other sign ups you have done.

We may use this in the event of a missing or found child, urgent safety information in regards to the fair or any of the fair related activities over next week. We will also post any updates about schedules or other related need to know information.
