There are moments in history that generations never forget. September 11, 2001, is one of those moments.

Today, we remember the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors whose lives were taken far too soon. We remember the families who woke up to an ordinary morning and, in an instant, found their world forever changed.

We remember the firefighters, police officers, emergency responders, and countless heroes who ran toward danger when others were running to safety. Their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness continue to inspire us every day.

As a county fair, we celebrate community, family, and traditions that bring people together. Today reminds us how precious those moments truly are. It reminds us to cherish the people beside us, lend a helping hand to a neighbor, and never take for granted the time we share with those we love.

Though many years have passed, the memory of that day remains in our hearts. We honor those we lost, those who answered the call, and those who continue to carry the weight of that day.

From all of us at the Florence County Fair, we pause to remember, reflect, and honor.

❤️ Never forgotten. Always remembered. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Today, we remember September 11, 2001.

We remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, the families forever changed, and the countless acts of courage shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We honor the first responders who rushed toward danger, the service members who answered the call to protect our nation, and the ordinary Americans whose resilience helped our country heal.
Twenty-five years later, the memories of that day remain etched in our hearts. As we reflect, we are reminded of the values that carried our nation through one of its darkest moments: unity, compassion, sacrifice, and service to others.

Today, the Town of Florence joins communities across America in honoring those we lost, recognizing the heroes among us, and ensuring that the lessons and legacy of September 11 are never forgotten.

A special thank you to the Florence Fire Department for this thoughtful display of the truck and turnout gear, helping our community pause, reflect, and remember those we lost, the heroes who responded, and all those affected by September 11.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸⭐️🌟As the sun sets on the 2026 Florence County Fair, our hearts are full of gratitude for another wonderful year spent celebrating our community, our traditions, and each other.

Our third and final day was a memorable one, featuring the always-popular Pony Pulls and Draft Horse Pulls, a fantastic Car Show showcasing pride and craftsmanship, and great music from Lovin' Country that brought people together throughout the day.

We were also honored to welcome Congressman Tom Tiffany, who presented special Best of Show ribbons to the winners of our "America the Beautiful" Patriotic Exhibit Contest. His visit helped recognize the creativity, hard work, and love of country reflected in the beautiful exhibits entered by our community.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who made this fair possible. To our exhibitors, volunteers, sponsors, entertainers, fair board members, and all who attended, your support, dedication, and enthusiasm are what make the Florence County Fair so special. Seeing families gather, neighbors reconnect, and traditions carried on from one generation to the next is what this fair is truly all about!

Thank you for making the 2026 Florence County Fair one to remember. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back next year August 27-28-29, 2027!❤️

💛🌅 SUNDAY AT THE FLORENCE COUNTY FAIR — OUR FINAL DAY TOGETHER 🌅💛

There’s something special about this morning. The fairgrounds feel a little softer, a little sweeter — like they know today is our last day to gather, laugh, wander, and celebrate everything that makes this community feel like home.

Sunday isn’t just the end of the fair. It’s the day we slow down just enough to really see each other — families sharing lunch, kids proudly showing their ribbons, volunteers greeting familiar faces, neighbors stopping to talk like they’ve known each other forever. It’s the day the fair reminds us why we love this place.

Today is your chance to:
✨ Take one more walk through the exhibits
✨ Cheer on the final events
✨ Grab that favorite fair treat “just one more time”
✨ Make one more memory with the people who matter

Thank you, Florence County, for filling these grounds with heart, pride, and togetherness all weekend long. Let’s close out this fair with warmth, gratitude, and that unmistakable hometown spirit. ❤️

Admission is $10 day for ages 5 & older.

All other events are free to watch, and the inflatables are free for kids to use. It is all included in the price of admission!

🍔🛻🇺🇸Day 2 of the Florence County Fair was packed with excitement, entertainment, and community pride! 🇺🇸🛻🍔

The day featured plenty of action at the Mud Bog, where drivers and spectators alike enjoyed the thrill of the competition. Fairgoers were also treated to a fantastic performance by the Horizon Band and Next Myle who kept the crowd entertained throughout day and into the evening.

Another crowd favorite was the Wi Arm Wrestling Competition, showcasing strength, determination, and great sportsmanship from all the competitors.

One of the most meaningful moments of the day was the special presentation of a State Citation by Representative Jeff Mursau to the family of Ed Kelley in recognition of his years of dedicated service to Florence County. It was a touching tribute to a man who made a lasting impact on our community, and we were honored to celebrate his legacy.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, volunteered, and supported the fair. Your enthusiasm and community spirit are what make the Florence County Fair such a special tradition.

We can't wait to see what our third and final day brings! 🌟
