We eagerly anticipate it every year, and the moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. The Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair is just around the bend, and it’s bringing with it a cornucopia of delights: beloved funnel cakes, exhilarating rides, vibrant lights and a plethora of local musical talent.

 

“Folio “ chatted with Lisa Thomas, director of  marketing for the Greater Agricultural Fair, to give us the inside scoop on what’s in store and what we should be most excited about this year.

 

“The one thing that’s close to my heart is that I purposely put in a lot more local music acts,” Thomas shared. “We have national acts, but all the other 90% of our acts are all local. And that’s because that’s where my heart is.”
