Macon County Fair in Franklin, NC now in its 57th year.
Stepping into the Fall season, September brings the annual Macon County Fair in Franklin, NC. 
This years Theme is Sow it. Grow it. Show it. This will mark the 57th year at the Wayne Proffitt Agricultural Center on Hwy.441 south Franklin, NC.
For the very first time at Macon County Fair they are including a Tractor Pull challenge. During the competition each participant pulls a weighted tractor for 39 feet and there will be three divisions: one for children, one for teenagers and one for adults. After seeing this at the Raleigh's state fair, event organizer Steve Anderson wanted to bring it to Franklin, NC Fair.
Sheriff Robbie Holland and sheriff candidate George Lynch have agreed to a pull off. That should be fun to watch.
Some exhibits are fun for the whole community of Fanklin, NC to enjoy. Anyone can enter the Flower Show, The Best Cake in Macon County, Pet Show just to name a few. Or, just come on out for some good ole fun.
Opening day is 1:00pm Wednesday Sept. 15th and will close Sunday, Sept. 19th at 2pm.
