"Back in the days when all the counties had one (a fair), they had them in the county seat," said Wayne Swindall, an Exchange Club member and associate professor at Auburn."Most counties don't anymore.Nobody cares about them, but we hang on." Although fairs are dwindling, the Exchange Club will continue to sponsor the event as long as its funds hold steady."We talked about doing an East Alabama fair here, inviting Walker, Chamber, Tallapoosa, whoever touches Lee County," Swindall said.Fairs are fun for all ages, and Lee County's is no exception.It's a harmless look into one of America's oldest traditions.The fair opens at 6 p.m. daily until Saturday.Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children younger than 12.If nothing else, young ladies and gentlemen are welcome to use the fair as a "cheap date," Swindall said.
