The Alto Fair
Every year in early August, Alto hosts a special event called the Alto Fair. This fair is a bit like a small county fair. It is put on by the local 4-H club and the Farm Bureau.
The Alto Fair lasts for two days. It usually starts on a Wednesday and finishes the next day. This schedule is said to be because organizers wanted to make sure children could still attend church services over the weekend.
- The fair includes fun activities like:
- 4-H judging, where kids show off their projects.
- A tractor pull competition, which is exciting to watch.
- Country breakfasts served each morning.
It's a great way for the community to come together.
