Lebanon Once Again Hosts The Tennessee State Fair

  • Sunday, August 18, 2024

Lebanon, Tn., home of Cracker Barrel Country Stores, is once again hosting the Tennessee State Fair.

The town just east of Nashville and not far south of Kentucky put on a Wilson County Fair so good that it was adopted statewide.

There are incredible quilts, giant sunflowers, goat shows and much more to go along with an extensive carnival.

Saturday was the day for the Husband Calling Contest and the Mama Calling Contest. Other events on the schedule include the Back Seat Driver Contest in which the driver is blindfolded and follows instructions from the back seat driver.

There's lots of entertainment and plenty of free parking at the fair just outside of town.

The fair continues through Aug. 24.
