Looking for fun at the fair this summer? A new interactive map can help you find more than 100 of them around the state.

The tracker includes 107 county and community fairs, simplifying the process of finding basic information, Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said.

"Memories are made at Pennsylvania fairs,” Redding said in a statement. "They’re family-focused celebrations of community and, at their heart, fairs feature agriculture. Explore our map, and then explore our fairs."
