Surprise, the fair is going on! There’s only three days of the fair, and fair food, left.

Thursday’s events offer a little variety, so hang on tight. The main event in the evening is the A-Bar Rodeo Bull Riding and Girls Barrel Racing starting at 8 p.m. This is a free grandstand event, so all are welcome.

If bull riding or barrel racing isn’t up your alley, don’t worry. There are plenty of other events and activities to keep everyone busy beginning at 8 a.m.
