Hello! We are looking to play at the fair maybe next year! You can hear us and see some photos at our website. Please let us know!
Sincerely, Nate Harris
This is my favorite event of the year! My husband and I “happened” upon the first Valle Country Fair 35 years ago when we were visiting my grandmother. I immediately fell in love with the (then) quaint festival that had the feel of a bygone era. Over the years it grew so much that it had to be moved to the field across the road. The fair is an annual family tradition, along with the fried chicken dinner and silent auction held at the Valle Crusis Elementary School at the end of the day. So far, we’ve missed only one year, and that was because of an illness. I hear the mountains calling……..
Will someone please tell me the name and contact info for the folks who make and sell the felt advent calendars and toys.
Thanks so much
Hello, My name is Tony and I am inquiring about your festival. I have been humbled and honored at the response from my art and I have had many people tell me of your festival and I wish to say I think I have attended when I was a kid. I have tried to find contact info but to no avail. I do whimsical art and tree sculpture…My fb page has everything I have made, posted in some fashion or another…type my name in backwards, Ynot Imagine, and I should pop up. Please let me know if my art fits…I have been told to stay in the finer art realm so I am really trying to find loyal and moral events to support my home state…thank you,

I don’t see any news about the 2014 Valle Country Fair, which should be a week away (10/18). Can you tell me if you’re going to hold it this year, and if so if it will be on the 18th? I’m traveling down to the area from New York, and want to know if I should try to swing by. Thanks.
The 2014 Valle Country Fair will take place Saturday, October 18. Hope you can make it!
I am interested in vendor info and application for this year’s event.
Thank you
What are the dates for the festival this year, 2015?
