The Fair

Pomeroy's Meigs County Fair draws from the steep river hills and farming bottoms of one of southeastern Ohio's most distinctive counties, perched above the Ohio River. Its history stretches back to 1850, placing it among Ohio's oldest agricultural fairs. Harness racing remains part of the fair's tradition.

What You'll Find There

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, harness racing, carnival rides, and fair food fill the week.

Local Tips

Pomeroy is a unique river town built mostly along a single street on a narrow shelf between the river and the hills.
