Add article description

Kauai County Fair or Kauai County Farm Fair is a fair held annually in Lihue, Hawaii, traditionally the largest Hawaiian fair of the year.[1] It is usually held in August,[2] though in part of the 20th century it was held in April.[3]

Frank Sinatra appeared at the Kauai County Fair in April 1952 at a time when his career had severely declined. It was raining at the time and the dilapidated tent he was in leaked during his first performance.[4]
