The Marion County Fair Board thinks this year’s entertainment options will be more popular than the past few years. Fair committee chair Dan Findley tells KNIA/KRLS News that they’re trying some new things as well as improving on what they had. A full carnival is back this year, as is the popular rodeo next Tuesday night. Findley says they also brought in a bigger-named band in Hairball to kick off the grandstand shows Friday night and have brought in more food vendors as well. KNIA/KRLS will be broadcasting live at the fair from the Big Red Radio all week. You can see a full fair schedule by clicking on the banner above.
