“4H is going to be big this year – it’s larger than it’s ever been actually – and we’re really focusing on our rides. They’re a big draw for sure … heavy horse is going to be huge this year compared to last year. We have up to 10 to 12 teams coming for that, so that’s a huge draw.”

The fair runs August 17th-20th.
