NEWPORT—The 74th Cocke County Agricultural and Industrial (A&I) Fair is scheduled to open Tuesday, August 16 through Saturday, August 20, 2022.

Jeanne Birdwell, president of the fair committee, said, “this year will prove to be one of the best years to date working with Cocke County volunteers, sponsors, friends in Cocke County and surrounding counties. An additional benefit to the fair and our county was the beginning again of the student youth of Cocke County who have given their time and talents along with their leader. All fair officers and directors are grateful for their help.”
