A documentary about a local county fair will debut tonight on WILL-TV.

Sarah Edwards is the director and producer of 'County Fair,' a documentary about the 2021 Champaign County Fair. She notes this was a passion project for her as she grew up attending the Champaign County Fair and wanted to document the culture and people who attend fairs.

Edwards indicates the film covers the people who show and the fair and their lives. Viewers will learn about five different individuals and see their journey leading up to the county fair and then how well they perform at the fair.

Edwards hopes viewers will find the film relatable as county fairs are such a staple across Central Illinois and the greater Midwest region. She wants the audience to take away from the film a greater appreciation and understanding of the many individuals at the fair.

'County Fair' debuts at 8 pm tonight on WILL-TV. A trailer can be viewed at will.illinois.edu/countyfair.
