It is fair week in Rome, Georgia! The 74th annual Coosa Valley Fair opens today and continues through this Saturday at the fairgrounds located at 1400 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.
Carloads will be admitted for $10 from 5 pm until 6 pm today (no trucks or vans). Armbands will be available for $30 each for unlimited rides until the fair closes tonight. The night will be highlighted by the CVF Cheerleading Exhibition and Spirit Competition.
Special features at this year’s fair include: Jurassic Kingdom, Camp Carousel Petting Zoo, a rock-climbing wall, a mechanical bull, the Magical Adventure Show, and the Space Adventure Thrill Show.
Steve White, 2023 President of the Coosa Valley Fair Association, enthuses that he eagerly anticipates a week full of tasty fair food.
The thrilling rides from Wade Shows are, of course, among the most popular attractions every year, states Bryan Shealy, CVFA member, who adds that the rides are ‘extremely safe’.
The Coosa Valley Fair is presented each year by the Exchange Club of Rome, GA. Proceeds go back into the community, says Shealy.
Members of the club really enjoy presenting the fair to the community every year, states White.
The theme for the 74th annual Coosa Valley Fair is ‘Fun, Fun, and More Fun!’.
Fairgoers may obtain more information, including a daily schedule of events, at www.coosavalleyfair.com and on Facebook. Discounted armbands may be purchased online for $25 each through 5 pm today.
The fair’s livestock shows for this year took place over the weekend.
