Clark County Fair 2011

Clark County Fair

It’s that time of year again! Time to enjoy some carnival rides, test your luck at shooting an over-sized basketball through an undersized hoop to win a larger than life stuffed animal. Time to eat more calories than any one human should eat in a day. Kettle-corn, Dairy Women’s Milkshakes, amazing sweet grilled onions covering a yummy burger from The Smokehouse. Corn on the cob, funnel cakes, snow cones, deep fried Twinkies and on an on… Time to see all sorts of animals. Animals like horses, cows, llamas, pigs, dogs, cats and even bees. It’s a great time to enjoy our local artists and crafters in the Clark County Event Center with all their fun quilts, cards, sketches, flowers, photos, paintings, jams and baked goods. Also in the big hall are vendors selling all sorts of fun, cool, quirky things. Ya never know what you might walk out the door with?

In addition to all these fun things at the Clark County Fair, don’t forget the great events of each day. The Grandstand Entertainment is FREE with your admission to the fair. The schedule is as follows:
