★WHAT TO EXPECT★
Six categories of fun on the midway
Thrill rides
For the brave — fast spinning, drops, swings that go upside down, and rides that test your nerves.
Family rides
The Ferris wheel, the carousel, swings, and other classics that everyone in the family can enjoy together.
Kids' rides
Smaller rides for younger kids — mini cars, kid-sized swings, kiddie spinners. Height limits clearly posted.
Midway games
Balloon darts, ring toss, basketball shooting, and the classics. Plush prizes for the winners.
Carnival food
Cotton candy, funnel cakes, corn dogs, lemonade — the smells you remember from every fair you've ever been to.
Lights & energy
Once the sun sets, the midway lights up. The fair at night is when memories are made — bring your phone.

Tips from the locals

★ BEST VALUE
Wednesday is the cheapest night
At $25 wristbands, Wednesday is the deal of the week. Senior Day means free gate admission for ages 62+ from 12pm-5pm too.
★
★ KIDS UNDER 5
Bring small kids early
The midway gets busy after 7pm. Arrive when carnival opens at 6pm for shorter lines on the kiddie rides — and dinner before crowds peak.
!
★ DON'T FORGET
Carnival is separate from gate admission
Your fair admission ticket gets you onto the fairgrounds. Carnival rides are paid separately at the carnival entrance — bring extra for wristbands or tickets.
★
★ PEAK NIGHT
Saturday is the biggest night
Demolition Derby Saturday brings the biggest crowds. $40 wristbands on Saturday — but lines are longer and the energy is unmatched.
