Is there gonna be food and how much does it cost

Insane Gymnastics | Oct 7, 2017
Lori Andrews | Oct 7, 2017

Probably over 100 different food vendors. Most things you can get for under $8. I got a huge bowl of fried catfish for $7 and it was out of this world. Look for the tiny Soul Food truck over by the tractors with the guy giving free samples out front. Also Valley Concessions, across from the milking parlor. Order the pork sundae and an apple dumpling. Unbelievable.

Depends on the parking lot Robert. There is parking within the fairgrounds only a couple hundred feet from the grandstand entrance. All other parking lots are outside the grounds but still not a bad walk.

Emily Donahue | Oct 7, 2018
RB Nash | Oct 7, 2018

It's been a few years since I've experienced this with my children, but when the weather is bad (unsafe) the rides do not operate later if conditions change they will operate the rides. Usually the whole day is not lost, they want to make money and you want what they sell. I don't remember a whole day being lost.

Terry Evans | Oct 7, 2017
Aaron Clutter | Oct 7, 2017

$8, but there were some great deals this year. Key 103 teamed up with the fair for $60 carload night on Tuesday. Everyone legally fastened in your car got admission and unlimited rides, plus parking was included. There is also the Megapass that you could buy ahead of time at Walgreens. This was $30 for admission and unlimited rides. Otherwise, once you paid your $8, plus $5 to park, it could cost a lot for ride tickets.
