(MURFREESBORO) — MTSU alumni and staff will operate a booth Aug. 18-26 at the Wilson County Fair at the James E. Ward Agricultural Center in Lebanon.
The event, which is regarded as the No. 1 fair in the state and one of the best in the nation, is listed in the Top 20 Events in August by the Southeast Tourism Association, festival officials said. It drew 411,068 people in 2005, according to the Tennessee Association of Fairs.
MTSU Wilson County alumni will join MT athletics, athletic marketing and alumni office personnel in manning the booth, which will be open at 5 p.m. on week days (Aug. 18 and Aug. 21-25) and virtually all day on two Saturdays, Aug. 19 and 26, and Sunday, Aug. 20.
“We will distribute MTSU memorabilia and free goodies,” said Patience Long, assistant director of alumni relations at MTSU. “And MTSU alumni will receive a special gift while supplies last.”
The fair will open at 5 p.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Aug. 20. Admission will be $6 for adults, $4 for senior citizens 60-over, $3 for children ages 6-12 and free for 5-under.
The fairgrounds are one mile off Interstate 40. Festival goers should take I-40 to exit 239B, then U.S. 70 West.
