Monticello's Exciting Week-Long Jones County Fair Celebration

The Great Jones County Fair Week is currently underway in Monticello, promising an exciting mix of music, entertainment, and family activities. Running from July 16th to July 20th, the fair is set to be the "Five Best Days of Summer" for locals and visitors alike.

The fair's Grandstand stage will host four nights of concerts, starting with country star Sam Hunt on Thursday night. Music lovers can also look forward to performances by Nelly, Country superstar Hardy, and the "Roots and Boots" Tour featuring Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin, and Collin Raye. Rapper Nelly will take the stage on Friday night, while the "Roots and Boots" Tour is scheduled for Sunday night.

For those who don't wish to purchase concert tickets, hillside seating is available for free, with rules governing blanket and tarp setup.

The fair is not just about music, though. It offers a variety of rides and games, providing fun activities for all ages. Food and beverage options are plentiful, with a Craft Beer Tent serving local brews and wine, accompanied by live music.

The fair also features a variety of vendors offering mouthwatering eats and handmade items, adding to the lively atmosphere.

In addition to the concerts and non-musical entertainment, there are numerous family activities at the fair. Extreme Bull Riding will take place at the grandstands on Sunday at 5 pm, and Harness Racing will take place on Thursday at 11 am. Pro Pulling League events are also taking place at the grandstands.

Abby Jaeger, the Office Manager of the Great Jones County Fair, is eager for the event. "We've worked hard to put together a fantastic lineup of concerts and non-musical entertainment for this year's fair," she said. "There's something for everyone, and we can't wait for everyone to come and enjoy the fun."
