And remember every day is kid’s day, with scavenger hunts, storytimes, hands-on activities, coloring corner, Kid’s Corner Corral and animals, animals everywhere.

This years County Fair was streamed back from nine days to five, which will exponentially improve the fair-goers experience, because most people come for the 4-H animals and the rodeo, which happens later on. Each year the fair’s board has continually improved upon the County Fair, by listening to the input given by all the fair-goers of previous years. The improvements, including reducing the days the County Fair and discontinuing charging an admission fee at the gate at the same time offering free parking, has increased the attendance by 10,000 people per year.
