The Freestone County Fair Association (FCFA) received the 2024 Civic Organization of the Year Award from the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce.

“It was an honor to receive the Civic Organization of the Year, especially when there are so many other great groups who deserve it,” FCFA President Jody Bodine said. “We have tried to build on what was already created for us and continue to grow what the previous board had started.”

In 1954, the Freestone County Fair Association held the first Freestone County Fair and Rodeo in Fairfield August 26-28 at the W.L. Moody Camp Memorial Park. Governor Allan Shivers led the parade.
