Neshoba County Fair Features Political Speeches

The Edwards County Fair in Albion features a variety of livestock events from July 29 to August 1, including a Sheep Show, Swine Show, and Youth Livestock Auction, alongside entertainment such as a Truck & Tractor Pull and a Mud Race. Concurrently, the Caribou County Fair in Grace is scheduled for August 5-10, showcasing events like a 4-H Horse Show, PRCA Rodeo, and various children's activities. In Neshoba County, the annual fair will host political speeches from local leaders including Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and Gov. Tate Reeves, although no presidential candidates are expected this year. Additionally, two individuals, Bobbie Jo Anderson and Douglas Shea Gentry, are wanted by the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Dept. on separate charges, prompting authorities to seek public assistance in locating them. The fairs highlight regional traditions and community participation, drawing attention to both agricultural showcases and civic engagement.
