[namamama]

Is it this weekend? I can't seem to find any info on it (cost, exhibits, etc). Anyone know anything?

Thanks,

I was surprised that the Jaycees didn't have a web page...

The fair runs from Thursday, Sept. 13 through Sunday the 16th. They usually have livestock, plants, flowers, produce, and even some industrial stuff on exhibit. Food booths offer a range of treats and there is a carnival type midway with rides. Typical county fair stuff with a Hawaiian flavor. Also, local folklore holds that the weekend of the fair will produce flooding rains. This has happened at least twice in the past few years.

Cheers,
Jerry

Yeah I saw that link Carey. Unfortunately, there is next to no information about it on that site. Thanks for the inside scoop Jerry! Anyone going?
