That's a Wrap! White County's Fair wins State Title

The White County Fair Board spent the better part of last week at the Tennessee Association of Fairs Convention in Murfreesboro. From T-shirts to tiaras, high heels to trucker caps, ribbons to rodeos, everything was on display and being judged, but it was the White County Fair that came home big winners.

The White County Fair was honored with the prestigious Champion of Champions trophy. White County, which won the Division A title at the previous convention, was competing against the Warren County and Williamson County Fairs for the title.

The Champion of Champions title celebrates fairs that demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, community involvement, and overall excellence. The White County Fair was recognized as achieving the highest level of excellence of any fair across the state of Tennessee. The award came thanks to the tireless efforts of the fair board, volunteers, partners, and supporters.

“This achievement marks a historic moment for the White County Fair and stands as a powerful symbol of its continued success during what has become known as the fair’s Blue Ribbon Era,” the White County Fair Board issued a statement after receiving the trophy Saturday night. “The award reflects years of dedication, growth, and commitment to providing an outstanding fair experience for exhibitors, patrons, sponsors, and the entire community.”

The Fair Board went on to thank all of those – from volunteers to sponsors to exhibitors and even visitors – who spend their time and support every year making the White County Fair one of the greatest in the state.

"A special thank you is also extended to James Gang Amusements for being a wonderful carnival partner and for their professionalism, dedication, and continued commitment to creating an exceptional experience for our fair and its guests,” they said.

The win doesn’t signify the end of an era for the White County Fair. Instead, fair board members are already working and planning for the 2026 event in hopes of earning another division title. In addition, the White County Fair Board will be a presenter at next year’s TAF Convention as they share exactly what it takes to be a champion fair.

“As the White County Fair moves forward, this recognition affirms that the fair is not only preserving its rich tradition but setting a new standard for the future—truly living in its Blue Ribbon Era,” the White County Fair Board had the final say on all of this year’s events before moving on to begin preparing for the 2026 White County Fair.
