(Spencer) — Saturday marks the start of the 99th annual Clay County Fair in
Spencer, sometimes known as the “World’s Greatest County Fair”, and Jeremy
Parsons, the General Manager of the fair says attendees will notice some
improvements.
Parsons says when the new structure is ready for use, it will feature vendors and
exhibitors, and it will replace a traditional long-standing building.
The Clay County Fair has been known to feature a large display of agriculture
equipment, and Parsons says that will again be the case for this year’s fair.
The manager of the Clay County Fair says this year more than $150,000 worth of
free entertainment will be featured on the grounds’ four different stages.
Parsons says admission to the fair is set at nine dollars, however, advanced
discount admission tickets are available through today (Friday) at the Le Mars Godfathers
Pizza restaurant, and at the Sioux County Farm Bureau offices in Orange City.
Parking at the Clay County Fair is free.
