The last day to enjoy the Wilson County Fair/Tennessee State Fair is Saturday, August 24.
“Thank you to all the city employees from each department who participated at the city fair booth during the fair week. It is an excellent opportunity to highlight city government and answer people’s questions. I enjoy playing trivia, seeing many of our longtime residents, and meeting some for the first time. I want to especially thank the Lebanon Police Department and Lebanon Fire Department for all the extra hours given this week and for helping ensure everyone has a safe time at the Fair,” Mayor Rick Bell said Friday on Facebook.
