the union county fair

It's the most anticipated week of the year for our area kids AND parents! Started in Afton, Iowa, in 1953, the Union County Fair has been "Raising Traditions" by encouraging hard work, cultivating leaders, and providing a week's worth of entertainment for all generations. Take a look at some of the highlights from year as we celebrated the 70th year of the Union County Fair!

Kids' day at the union county fair

Greater Regional Health has partnered with the Union County Fairgrounds to provide entertainment, games, and a whole lot of fun for our Kids' Day activities! We had so much fun last year, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for this year. In order to provide a day that is safe & fun for all ages, GRH is asking for sponsors, volunteers, and partners. If you'd like to join in on the fun, contact Maddie Simmons at maddies@greaterregional.org, or call her at (641)782-3874. Find more information below!
