Union City, Tenn.—Macy Garner of Greenfield was crowned Obion County Fairest of the Fair last night and she and her court will be reigning over this week’s activities as the fair celebrates its 60th year.
The fair got off to a good start Monday night despite the rainstorm which tried to interfere with the activities.
Garner’s court was named: First Maid Bre Williams, Union City; Second Maid Kaleigh Wagner, Obion; and Third Maid Katie Seals.
It was a good night for the Garner family, with Macy’s father Brian Garner, winning the first $1,000 Nightly Drawing of the fair. The Pick Tennessee basket was won by Anthony Williams.
