Fair Food

To celebrate the start of the festival there’s a Farm City Breakfast, complete with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, hash browns, and sweet rolls on July 31 at 8 a.m.

As for the rest of the fest, the 4-H Milk Bar is always a fair favorite for fresh milkshakes, floats, and ice cream. The food vendor lineup is seriously stacked. You’ll find all the classics like old fashioned kettle corn, candy apples, taffy, curly fries, burgers, hot dogs, soft pretzels, nachos, freshly squeezed lemonade, and so much more. 

Entertainment 

This year’s headliners are furry and four-legged. And yes, canine. The Dynamo Dogs perform all over the country. Their entertaining variety act is award-winning and truly one-of-a-kind.
