The beauty pageant will be held at Fohs Hall and the horse show will
be at the Fairgrounds. The horse show will have a special gate of
$2 per person. Family night will be a special $2.00 per person
gate with $3 off arm bands thanks to the sponsorship of Farmer's
Bank and Trust Marion and Conrad's Food Store Marion. Donkey
Basketball will be a special gate price of $5 per person and will
have audience participation events incorporated in the show. All
other events will have a $8.00 gate ages 16 and up $5 gate for ages
6-15 and all week age 5 and under will be free. The carnival
contractor is Playland Entertainment which was here last year for the
first time. Upon their return this year they will have a variety of
rides and games. This years rides will differ from those last year
which should be added excitement for those interest in the rides. One
advantage for the Lion's club to contract with Playland Entertainment
was the number of rides available for our fair and the fact that they
could offer different rides from year to year.
All events throughout the week will begin at 7 p.m., and the midway
will open at 6 p.m., pending weather and day to day decisions. The
Lion's club is looking forward to a great week of fair activities and
shows and certainly hope the community and surrounding area come out
and support all the events of the week. Anyone interested in the
livestock shows, crops, garden, and craft contests should refer to the
fair catalog for times and schedules. All such activities can be
confirmed with the County Extension office at 270-965-5236.
