If you’re in the area over the course of August 21-29 - be sure to stop in at the Great Darke County Fair and visit the Eldora displays.  We have two displays this year - one inside the Coliseum and one outside on the midway.  Schedules, posters, fans, stickers, and more will be available at the indoor display.  The outdoor display consists of the two show cars (Sprint and Late Model), plus clearance sales on some great Eldora merchandise!

Eldora drivers will also be appearing each night for autograph sessions.  Check at the booth for names and times!

The Darke County Fair is billed as the largest county fair in the state of Ohio - so don’t miss it!
