It’s time for the 172nd  Montgomery County Fair! Gates open today at noon and will be open until 10pm tonight.  A new petting zoo, acts from the Cincinnati Circus, chicken, sheep, rabbit and turkey showmanship, the President’s Baking Contest and a tractor pull are all featured today. 4-H clubs throughout the county will be participating in judging and fair activities.

Tickets, which can be bought online run $10 Sunday through Thursday, and $15 Friday and Saturday after 4 pm. Children under $6 attend for free, and senior citizens, first responders, and veterans get a discount on Wednesday. Parking at the fairgrounds is free.

Experience the thrill of the fair with a wide range of exciting rides that cater to all ages! From the exhilarating spins of the Tilt-a-Whirl to the whimsical charm of the Carousel, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Feel the rush of adrenaline on the coasters, or take a leisurely ride on the Ferris Wheel for breathtaking views of the fairgrounds. As the sun sets, the rides light up the night, adding an extra layer of magic to your experience. Whether you’re seeking heart-pounding excitement or gentle thrills, our fair rides provide endless entertainment for sunny days and cool evenings alike. So grab your tickets and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
