The Green Co. Fair & Horse Show

A Green Co. Tradition for over 60 years...

​

The Green Co. Fair & Horse Show has been a staple at The American Legion Park just outside of Greensburg in Green Co. for a long time.  The week long event features numerous events, pageants, a Midway filled with rides & games, the horse show, a tractor pull, demolition derby, and ends with a spectacular fireworks show.

 

Brought to life by hard working community members.


The Green Co. Fair Board is a volunteer group of which members of the community are welcome to join.  The 2022 Green Co. Fair Board is made up of 48 members who meet monthly and strive to put together the best possible week of entertainment for the folks of Green and surrounding counties.
