September 24th – 28th, 2024
The Comer Lions Club’s Madison County Fair is set for September 24th-September 28th, 2024. The fair is a special tradition that takes place each fall in the beautiful town of Comer, GA. The Lions Club members generously give their time and energy to make this hometown event, which has taken place for the last 76 years, a delight to the people from the Northeast Georgia area. You can follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/comerfair.
