The Block Stackers are a local group that will be building a scaled replica of famous buildings using over 10,000 wooden blocks. Continue on to Expo II where local 4-H and open class exhibitors will be displaying their many projects. Expo III will be an active zone with all the livestock pens filled to capacity with pigs, goats, rabbits, sheep, ducks, geese and cows. Take the opportunity to get up close and personal with these barnyard natives.

The fair is pleased to feature entertainment each evening that caters to many different tastes. The carnival will light up the nights as the concerts fill the air with music.
