Platte County Fair set July 21-24

After a year in which the fair was drastically scaled down due to the COVID pandemic in the summer of 2020, this year the Platte County Fair appears to be back at full strength.

The 158th annual Platte County Fair will be held next Wednesday through Saturday, July 21-24, at the fairgrounds in Tracy.
