 One big change this year is that the fair is spread out over three weekends, not just one 10-day run. It opened today at 11 this morning, and it runs through Sunday. And if you can't get there this weekend, you can go from July 4th through the 7th and July 11th to the 14th as well. Gates open at the fair each day at 11. Gate admission, $15 for adults, $8 for kids 6 to 11. Five and under are free. The concerts are extra.
