Magnolia Fair has been going on for 50-plus years. There was a break in the schedule for approximately, I'm going to say, five to eight years. After COVID, the mayor at that time and town council was able to get the funding back for the fair. The festival will host many exciting attractions ranging from Carnival rides to concerts and even a petting zoo. The festival will conclude on Saturday evening with a fireworks show. I think it helps our businesses in town and it gives people something to do and we're just excited to try to build it and bring more for the people each year just to make it better and build it back up to what it used to be and just get the community excited. The Magnolia Fair Festival will take place from 5pm until 11pm Wednesday through Friday and 1pm until 11pm on Saturday and there's a $15 gate fee. For more information about the event, you can visit the Magnolia Fair Festival Facebook page. For Mountaintop News, I'm Kelcie Dean.
