If you're headed to the Hamilton County Fair this weekend, add a stop. Tennessee State Parks will dedicate Angel's Hollow before the fair, and it will be the state's 70th state park.
The park will connect directly to Cumberland Trail State Park. Mayor Weston Wamp said McDonald Farm will continue on as the fair site, right next door.
Angel's Hollow will cover about 2,500 acres
