The dates for the 2017 Highland County Fair will be Sept. 2-9, according to a news release from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
“Ohioans can start planning visits to all of their favorite fairs across the state, which include Ohio’s 94 county and independent fairs and the Ohio State Fair,” the news release said.
The Paulding County Fair will kick off the 2017 fair season on June 12 and the season will wrap up on Oct. 14 with the Fairfield County Fair.
