Heritage Square
Nestled in the heart of the county fair, the little stage is a charming hub of creativity and community, where local artisans, crafters, and authors proudly showcase their talents. In past years, visitors have watched skilled hands weave baskets, carve wood, or paint intricate designs while storytellers and authors share their latest works, bringing words to life. The stage also plays host to a lively mix of entertainment and educational acts, from folk musicians and dancers to interactive demonstrations that celebrate local history, agriculture, and craftsmanship. Whether you're here to learn a new skill, enjoy a performance, or simply soak in the rich tapestry of homegrown talent, the little stage is a must-visit gem at the fair.
