This fairgrounds does have a lot to offer even though it is a smaller grounds. My only downfall is due to the set up they have it can be a pain to get where you need to go and not very convenient. It’s one long stretch from the entrance by the stands to over where they have the food, and if there’s a good band playing or it’s later in the evening it’s terrible to get past the stage with a huge crowd around it (the stage is in-between the rides and food). They have absolutely amazing demolition derby’s and staff to work it as well! I highly recommend watching the demos, they all put a ton of work into these cars to be able to have fun and put on a show!

The bands at the fair were excellent this year 2024. The fair games were fun and easy enough for the kids to win. I actually wanted to keep the adorable lemur I won, but I had to give it to the child. 😊

An awesome free fair.
Free means no entrance fee. But you will have to pay for food, parking, rides, pony rides, etc.
If you're like me and just enjoy animals, you could almost come here and not spend any money... lol
We were able to find street parking close by. We had a little walk to the fair, but I'm good for walking. All the animals were up close and personal, and so much more accessible than at the state fair. There were tons of food vendors and all the food you want at a county fair.
We ended up eating at the clover cafe, because it was air conditioned and indoors, but the food there was meh. But cheap! $5.75 for a 1/3 lb cheeseburger! But it wasn't very well seasoned, and the "fried onions" on it definitely needed a little more cooking done to merit the "fried" part. Hot dog was only $4, and it was similar to the Costco hot dog. So would I eat here again? No, I'll spend the $14 to get a burger from a vendor just across the street in the fair, unless I'm with older friends who need air conditioning.
For $3, you can get a cup of animal feed to pet some goats and llama and lambs, etc. For $10, there is a camel ride, but it will only take you twice around a small area (it's over in under 5 minutes). Pony rides for kids merry-go-round style also available.
I had fun just watching other people enjoying the rides, while rubbing pig noses and feeding baby goats. We came in the morning, but wish I had stayed for the evening shows and music. Definitely planning another year!
