LIBERTY – The 2022 Trinity Valley Exposition is in full swing following opening day. Now attentions turn to the fairgrounds for the carnival, rodeo, auction and, of course, the annual crowning of Miss TVE.
“I am excited to welcome everyone to the 2022 Trinity Valley Exposition this year. What a great tradition we have here in Liberty and Chambers Counties, with a Fair and Rodeo that is celebrating its’ 114th year,” said TVE President Fred LeMond Jr. in his welcome letter to this year’s Fair.

“I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fair this year. We are excited about the event and excited to have the surrounding communities come together to support our youth and, as we say down on the bayou, ‘pass a good time.’ May God bless you always and ‘Let’s Fair and Rodeo!’ concluded LeMond Jr.
