About the fair

A Henry County Tradition

The Henry County Fair brings the whole county together every year in Paris, TN — livestock shows, exhibits, and a chance for local youth to show off months of hard work.

The Henry County Youth Livestock Show & Sale is one of the highlights of fair week. It’s where 4-H and FFA exhibitors from across the county bring their hogs, lambs, goats, and steers to compete and, for many of us, to sell our projects to support our families, our education, and our next year’s project.
