Step Right Up: Meet Us at the Fair! 🎡

Give this post a LIKE if you’re planning to head to the fairgrounds this year! 👍✨

There’s no better time to connect with our families and neighbors than under the lights of the Clay County Agricultural Fair. We are so proud to be part of this community, and we’d love for you to drop by Booth #12 (just outside the Exhibit Hall) to say hello!

Beyond the fun and games, we’re helping you get ahead of the curve for the upcoming school year. Our team is on-site and ready to:

📝 Register your student for the new school year.

🚌 Sign up for bus transportation.

💬 Answer any questions you have about our school district.

Whether you're there for the high-speed rides or you're on a mission to find the best corn dogs and deep-fried treats, make sure to swing by and snap a photo with our #OneClay frame! It’s a great chance to check a few things off your back-to-school list early so you can get back to the funnel cakes. 🍦

See you at the Midway! 🎡🐄🍿
