You can see local farmers of all ages exhibiting and showing the animals that they've raised.

You'll find cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and even dogs showing at this fair.

There are also horse shows in which equestrians can demonstrate their riding skills to win ribbons and trophies.

This fair isn't only about the animals, though! It's also full of other things, too. There's lots of live entertainment throughout the weekend.
