What to Expect

This is the sort of county fair with plenty of animals, so expect a down-home farm experience. Wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, and dress in layers in case it rains. The fair has tons of exhibits, contests, and live entertainment. Consult the schedule for things you definitely don't want to miss.

There will be arts and crafts vendors as well as food vendors, so be prepared to shop 'til you drop. Special events are peppered throughout the week – Can anyone tell me what "chicken poop bingo" is?

Certain activities like the live music, carnival, the craft marketplace, and livestock exhibits will be around every day. Make sure you have enough time to wander the entire fairgrounds! When else are you going to be able to get a selfie with an alpaca?
