Beginning Wednesday, thousands are expected to converge on the Martinsville Speedway for the Henry County Fair. The four-day event is part of Henry County’s effort to reach out to the community, via a weekend of food and family-friendly festivities. “There is also a race going on that Saturday night at the Martinsville Speedway,” Adams said. The current fair, which had its inaugural year in 2021, is actually the second time Henry County has been the site of an annual fair. Now in its fifth year, the Henry County Fair is quickly becoming one of the county’s most popular events.
