regional fairs
Local agricultural showcases
Regional fairs are periodic public events featuring exhibitions, competitions, entertainment, and commerce, typically celebrating local agriculture, industry, or culture.
They occupy a middle ground between small county fairs and massive state fairs, drawing crowds from a wider area: The regional fair had livestock judging, a midway, and country music acts.
Most run annually in late summer or fall, tied to harvest traditions.
