HAMLIN - Lincoln County's 2008 Fall Festival & County Fair will be the first week-long event to be held at Memorial Fairground.

Entries to both pageants are currently being accepted. Eligible ages for the pageants are: Youth (Boys and Girls) Birth-12, Teen (Girls only) 13-15, Miss 16-21.

Sponsored by Lincoln County Fairs & Festivals, the newly elected Queen from this pageant will advance to competition in the statewide WV Association of Fairs & Festivals pageant to be held in January. Lincoln County's 2006 Fall Festival Queen, Talia Markham, was crowned Queen of the statewide pageant in 2007 and represented the Association at fairs and other activities held all around the state during that year.
The 2008 fair's schedule will include a Mud Bog on Sunday, Sept. 7, with musical entertainment each evening that week.
The amusement carnival will open on Wednesday evening. Day-long activities will be held Friday, Sept. 12, through Sunday, Sept. 14.
