P.T. Barnum said, “The noblest art is that of making others happy.” And that’s exactly what the S.C. State Fair is aiming to do with its upcoming free outdoor screening of The Greatest Showman this Friday, July 12. 🎪

We love that they’re sticking with the circus theme for their 150th anniversary, which will be fully on display at the S.C. State Fair this fall with a new free, daily circus.
