The fair features a 60 foot thunderbird totem pole, an Indian village display, expanded livestock shows, and the finest machinery exhibit in fair history. Admission is $1 for adults with free admission for under 12, and special days include Children’s Day, Youth Day, State Day, and more through August 29.
