The Ford County Fair has been an annual attraction in Central Illinois since 1926. The fair brings agriculture, livestock, entertainment and so much more to the humble town of Melvin, Illinois and surrounding communities. We hope to see you there as we continue to celebrate over 90 years of this proud tradition.
