The Huntsville Fall Fair had Mother Nature on its side for once. Not one drop of rain on the fun-filled weekend, which officially wraps up today. The building that houses all the exhibits was overflowing with people who were checking out a fantastic display of agriculture, crafts and other homemade goods. Year after year, fair organizers go the extra mile to showcase the fine talent from both young and old. The fair offers something for everyone: a midway, a variety of interactive games, and nobody can ever resist leaving without a sweet treat. Huntsville Doppler’s Laura MacLean spent most of her weekend roaming the grounds with her two boys and her camera and captured what the fair is all about…

Yeahhhhhhhhhh Stevie!!
Now that I have grand children, I really worry about the unsafe conditions caused by all the vehicles parked on the shoulder of Ravenscliffe Rd during the Fair. Can’t believe that someone hasn’t been injured. The Fair was incredible and thanks to all the volunteers who put so much of their time into the event.
