      The Columbia County fair has been around since 1937. This fair takes place in the small town of Magnolia, Arkansas. The fair is six days loaded with your favorite carnival rides, yummy fair food, a petting zoo, different events that are held under the pavilion every night, and you also get to watch a livestock show each night. The Columbia County Fair is something you don't want to miss if you are in the area.

    

    Along with all the excitement that happens at the fair, there was the Columbia County Fair Pagent held on Monday night. The winner was the beautiful Kory Jennings, an 18-year-old from Magnolia. Kory attends Southern Arkansas University where she is also a cheerleader for the Muleriders. She was crowned 2021 Columbia County Fair Queen.
