About Hale County Fair
The Hale County Fair in Greensboro is a September fair in the Black Belt of west-central Alabama, celebrating the cotton, cattle, and community heritage of a county that was the subject of James Agee and Walker Evans's landmark 1941 documentary book "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" — one of the most important works of American journalism and photography.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rich Black Belt prairie and hardwood bottomland country of the Alabama interior.
Visitor Tips
Greensboro is the Hale County seat — the Rural Studio (Auburn University's extraordinary rural architecture program, which has built dozens of beautiful structures for low-income Hale County residents since 1993) and the Hale County landscape documented by Walker Evans' photographs make this Black Belt county a destination for students of American social history.
