With the kickoff of the Highland County Fair on Saturday, The Times-Gazette will once again be represented onsite with contests, giveaways and special subscription discounts.

The Times-Gazette has a big presence at this year’s fair, with a booth in the Wharton Building where daily prizes will be awarded through drawings and promotions, and reporters and photographers roaming the fairgrounds to bring readers daily coverage of the fair and all its excitement.

For those who stop by our booth and sign up, The Times-Gazette is giving away a grand prize 32-inch high definition television provided by Walmart, which will be awarded through a drawing at the end of the week. Each day, The Times-Gazette will draw three times a day for free three-month subscriptions to the newspaper.

Another special promotion during fair week, which runs Sept. 5-12, will be a one-year subscription to The Times-Gazette for just $75 – available both to new subscribers and current subscribers who want to renew at the special rate. The rate applies at our fair booth or by visiting our office during fair week, or by calling us during the week at 937-393-3456.

Every day, courtesy of sponsors including The Laurels, Southern State Community College, Southern Hills Community Bank, Magulac’s and Tom Pitzer Trucking, free copies of The Times-Gazette will be given away at the fair while they last, along with copies of popular publications such as Salt, Rural Life Today and Highland County Proud.
