BENTON COUNTY BOOTH – This display of local products and services will be featured in the Benton County booth at the Tennessee State Fair, beginning Thursday, Aug. 18, in Lebanon.

Benton County will be represented at the Tennessee State Fair from Aug. 18-27, which will be combined with the Wilson County Fair this year at the James E. Ward Agricultural Center, located at 945 East Baddour Parkway in Lebanon.

The State Fair will offer a Travel Tennessee Exhibit, where over 500,000 people will be able to walk through the entire State of Tennessee, one county at a time. A state map of Tennessee will be laid out on the floor and divided by each county with exhibits placed inside each county’s space. There will be room to walk around each exhibit so it can be easily viewed. This is a great way to educate so many people about all that Benton County has to offer! 

The Benton County booth will feature a video of local attractions and items representing the industry, foods, and special places in our county. The video and display were created by Benton County/Camden Chamber of Commerce Director Lorie Matlock, Benton County Fair Board member Kathy Weatherly, Benton County Economic Development Director Jennifer Wheatley, and Dr. Randy Shannon, a former Chamber Board member from Benton County Schools.

“We are so grateful for the local products and information provided by our area industry and tourism sites! Benton County will be well represented at the State Fair this year,” said Chamber Board President Kevin Stepp. Contributors include Arnold’s Fabricating and Machinery; the Benton County Fair Association; Birdsong Resort, Marina, and Pearl Farm; Carhartt, Inc.; NBF State Park; the Town of Big Sandy; UT Extension; and the West Tennessee Basket Guild. 

The Benton County/Camden Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit membership organization which works for the promotion and improvement of Benton County and its business community. To contact the Chamber, call 731-584-8395 or email [email protected]. More information about the Tennessee State Fair is available at www.wilsoncountyfair.net.
