CUMMING -- If this year’s Cumming Country Fair and Festival seemed more crowded than usual, there is a good reason. According to Cumming Fairgrounds Administrator Dave Horton, this year’s fair, which ran Oct. 6-16, welcomed 222,007 visitors, up more than 50,000 from the previous record of 167,827 that was set in 2015. “It blew out the last record by quite a bit,” Horton said.
