Popping over to Friday’s fair schedule

By Jessica Johnston, Reporter

Saturday is the last day of the 2018 Muskingum County Blue Ribbon fair, so enjoy the rides, events and food while they last.

It’s Pepsi Day. Fair goers can bring an empty plastic 20 oz. Pepsi bottle for free admission into the fair between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Tonight is the event that everyone is looking forward to. Montgomery Gentry and Jo Dee Messina are performing together at the track. Section A and B Track Seats are $35, section C and D Track Seats are $30 and Grandstand seats are $20. Fair admission is not included in the purchase of the tickets.

The concert doesn’t begin until 8 p.m. so there is plenty of time to participate in other fair activities during the daylight hours.
