Mackenzie Hoog was named Fair Queen in 2020 but due to the cancelation of the fair due to Covid-19 her reign has been extended so she’ll reign over the 2021 Fair that kicks off this Sunday and runs through July 17th.
The 169th edition offers a vast array of over 21 delicious fair food vendors offering up just about everything to tantalize the taste buds. Plus, this year ‘scooters’ are available for rent so you can zip around the fairgrounds. Safely of course.
Opening ceremonies are at noon on Sunday hosted by Kristi Leigh of the Mix 107.7 Morning Show, followed by the judging of the pie baking contest.
With rides provided by Big O’ Amusements, games, entertainment, demo-derby, Tug-A-Truck, tractor pulls, dog show, petting zoo, rodeo and of course the 4H programs and FFA (Future Farmers of America) plus, much more. A new addition to the fun this year- pig races!
