A country fair comes from Old French and of course from Latin before that and meant "holiday." Fair weather and fair odds come instead from Old English and so the root of these at least was already being used in the British Isles before 1066 and the Norman Invasion brought French with its country fair. The first citation for fair meaning "beautiful" is from way back around the year 888.
