The Plymouth County Fair officially gets underway today, as the Best 5 Days of Summer kicks off with a mixture of fair-favorite events and exciting new activities for attendees. Fair board chairman John Ahlers previewed today’s highlight events to KLEM.

 

In the Pioneer Village tonight, high-energy country rock band Feuding Hillbillys will perform at 5:15pm and 7:30pm, with the opening ceremony, awards, and the crowning of the fair King and Queen scheduled to start at 6:30pm. Motorcross races will take place on the Grandstand at the same time, while 4-H and FFA exhibits and competitions will take place throughout the day.

Ahlers says several improvements and changes were made to the fairgrounds and buildings during the offseason.

 

The Plymouth County Fair is one of the largest county fairs in the state, and Ahlers says there’s a “magic” to the fair that keeps fairgoers coming back every summer.
