It is almost time for the 2010 Riley County Fair! The Riley County Extension Office will be moved out to the fairgrounds at 1:00 p.m. today. It takes a bit to load up computers, printers, office supplies and more -- so thank you for your patience while we get moved and settled.The official start to the Riley County Fair is Thursday, July 22, with a parade at 6:00 p.m. The parade will occur on Poyntz Avenue, heading west from the Manhattan Town Center Mall. Other events, including a kids pedal tractor pull, will occur Thursday evening at the Riley County fairgrounds. Registration for this event begins at 7:00 p.m. and the actual pull will begin at 7:30 p.m. Youth ages 4-12 are eligible to participate. Come check it out at Hurlburt Arena!
The fair continues through July 26. Come ride the carnival rides, peek at fair exhibits, check out the farm animal nursery, sing a song or two in the Fair Idol contest, view the rodeo, and try the Fair Factor game on Saturday. There is plenty more to see and do, and most items are free!
Hurry though, the fair is only here for a limited time. The last day is July 26th, and then you will only have cotton candy memories to dream about!
