We have good things growing across the Fairgrounds.  This year we are excited to announce a Micro Wrestling, Wolves Of The World, the Banana Derby as well as Motor-X Gold Cup Racing, Drag Races and the perennial fan favorite events of Truck and Tractor Pulls, Rodeo and Demolition Derby.  A Pyrotechnico firework show will end our Fair with a bang!  Don’t forget all the classics such as Rides and Games, Great Food and Exhibits.  We are providing great opportunities for Livestock Breeders, Agricultural Exhibitors, Homemakers and 4-H and FFA members to display to the public their products, crafts, clothing, baked goods and animals.
