Earlier this month we launched our photo contest for the best SC State Fair throwback pic to help the State Fair celebrate its 150th anniversary. Tons of you sent in your photos (everything from family rides in the ‘80s to impressive professional shots of last year’s Fair), and we chose our top 4 favorites. 📸
Now it’s up to you, our faithful COLAtoday readers, to vote on which pic should win the top spot in our photo contest. The winner will get a State Fair prize pack ft. a 4-pack of admission tickets; two ride vouchers; $20 Fair food voucher + swag bag full of 150th Anniversary goodies.
Your next steps: Check out the 4 images below ⬇, then vote in the embedded poll for the best throwback pic.
