The Union County West End Fair began in 1925 as a “homecoming picnic” for the folks of Laurelton. Former residents returned for a reunion visit. The first week in August was chosen, so they could serve sweet corn. Originally known as “The Corn Festival” in its early years, the fair later became an agricultural fair for all of Union County.

The fair continues to promote agriculture with educational activities, exhibits, tractor pulls, and much more.
