2013 Fair Schedule of Events

Everyday has something new. Check listings for each day so you don't miss your favorite entertainers, exhibits, wristband ride day, 4-H activity or the Grandstand Events. Season tickets are the best buy — you can come again and again to see those special events you might otherwise miss with a one day admission.
