Belle-Clair Fairgrounds

Starting in 2023, St. Clair County officials hope to bring back the county fair. The county board voted Monday to apply for state funding.

The Belleville City Council and St. Clair County Board both voted Thursday night to purchase the property for $2.35 million.

Included in the listing are the main hall building, the open-air storage shed, the former Quality Rental building, the dirt racetrack, and multiple outbuildings.

The Belle-Clair Fairgrounds started offering booster shots on Tuesday. It will operate three days a week for the next three weeks.

“We strongly encourage appointments. As they become available, we’ll have those posted on our website,” the county’s health department director said.
