“Carnival Lights and Country Nights”….That’s the theme for the 2022 Greater Jefferson County Fair.  This year’s fair kicks off Monday and runs thru June 27 at the Fairgrounds on the west edge of Fairfield. The grandstand entertainment is highlighted by quad races, truck and tractor pulls, demo derby, fireworks and the carnival. Fairgoers will enjoy all the traditional fun, the Queen contest, Bill Riley Talent Show and, of course, all the 4H shows and exhibits. KILJ will be sharing the daily schedule of activities and judging results thru out next week. Check out the KILJ calendar of events.

At approx. 6:00 A.M. Monday Jones Contracting will begin paving the North side of Madison St. between Adams St. & Main St. First thing Monday Kinney & Sons Excavating & Grading will be closing Madison St. Jefferson to Jackson St. This will also shut off access to the Alley North and South from Madison St. Kinney & Sons will be removing the street surface, finish installing the drainage structures, cutting the street to subgrade, installing subdrain and placing the modified subbase. Weather permitting by the end of the week the block should be ready to turn over to Jones Contracting to begin placing the new pavement. Jones Contracting’s next phase of the project will be to start replacing sidewalks, approaches and colored boulevard. All three blocks will be closed at this time but all cross streets  Adams, Main, Jefferson and Jackson are still accessible and will stay accessible.
