🔥 DID YOU KNOW?! 🔥

Your paid admission to the Northeast Florida Fair gets you access to SO much more than just walking through the gates!

🎶 Live music
🎭 Shows & entertainment
🔥 Demonstrations — including LIVE blacksmithing with Underhill’s Forge
🐫 Our NEW walk-through petting zoo with camels, zebras & more
🐐🐓🐇🐖🐎🐄 Livestock barns filled with goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, horses, cattle and more — many raised right here by local youth!

And some of those livestock projects will even be sold during our Market Sale, with proceeds going directly back to the kids who worked so hard raising those animals. ❤️

But let’s talk about this blacksmithing demonstration for a second…

Underhill’s Forge has been part of our Fair for the last several years, and there is a reason we keep inviting him back.

He doesn’t just make incredible pieces — he teaches while he works. You can sit back and simply enjoy watching, or ask questions about the tools, the techniques, the style of the piece, why he uses certain materials… and he’ll gladly walk you through every step.

I had the chance to sit there and watch him take a flat piece of metal, heat it, hammer it and shape it — and before I knew it, he was handing me a rough, unfinished knife. 🔥🔨

It was crazy to realize I had just watched that entire process happen right in front of me.

That’s what makes the Fair special.

It’s not just rides and food. It’s agriculture, craftsmanship, education, tradition, entertainment and experiences you might not get to see anywhere else.

Come slow down for a minute, grab a seat at Underhill Forge, and watch something pretty amazing come to life right in front of you.
