Cattlemen and Farmers Day, Thursday, July 21, pays tribute to local cattlemen, cattlewomen, and agriculturalists. Join the fair in celebrating the accomplishments of the industrial arts program, enjoy a barbecue steak dinner, and find out who wins the cattleman of the year, cattlewoman of the year, and agriculturalist of the year awards. Discounted tickets will be available at the main administration office, located at 2198 Riverside Ave. from July 12 through July 19 for $30. Tickets will also be available on the day of the event for $40.

Seniors Day takes place on the first Friday of the fair, July 22. Guests 62 years and older get half off senior daily admission (regular senior daily admission price is $12).

Kids Day takes place on the final Friday of the fair, July 29. Kids ages 12 and under get free daily admission (regular child daily admission price is $10). Both Fridays will feature an expo of local non-profits in Mulbeary Park.

Closing Day takes place on Sunday, July 31. Guests will enjoy a parade of tractors featured in the JB Dewar Tractor Restoration program as they make their way down the midway.
