Southeast fairs offer carnival rides and craft vendors this November

Several fall and holiday fairs are taking place across the Southeast in early November. The Fair at Fenway South returns to JetBlue Park in Fort Myers across three November weekends, with carnival rides, food, family attractions and free live entertainment, including magician Lance Gifford. In North Escambia, Byrneville Elementary’s fall festival and Jim Allen Elementary’s carnival are both scheduled for Nov. 6, featuring activities, food and games; Byrneville also plans a basket auction. The Columbia County Fall Fair opened Thursday evening, with free admission for the first 250 visitors. Fayetteville’s 59th annual Holly Day Fair, a holiday shopping and craft show hosted by the Junior League of Fayetteville, runs Nov. 5-8 and brings together about 150 vendors.
