Daily Entertainment and Shows
Needing to check "watch adorable, tiny piggies races each other" off your bucket list? Don't worry because those cute little babes will be racing around a 150 inch oval track every single day of the fair. Other entertainment and shows include Magician Tim Spinosa, friendly clowns and let's not forget all the amazing rides! The Mitchell Brothers Amusements has rides for all shapes and sizes. Take a trip around the carousel, look for your house at the top of the Ferris wheel or hang upside down on one of the bigger rides. If those aren't for you, there are an abundance of children's rides too!

And let's not forget about the Petting Zoo filled with camels, zebras, mini goats, llamas, sheep, kangaroos, alpacas (be careful, they do spit) and more!  .
