It's the Fair!
Check out the meat and the fancy new digs at today’s Junior Livestock Auction
The Junior Livestock Auction (JLA) is well underway at the Fair today! It is the day that all the hard work 4-H and FFA kids put into raising a farm animal ready for your table finally pays off…literally. Even if you aren’t interested in participating, the fast talkin’ and secret signals and mostly-friendly bidding wars […]
Fair Food Feast Parade ~ Day 8
I took one more for the team today and tried the Deep Fried Twizzler Twinkie. You’re welcome. Toni WoodardI am a Clark County Fair Fanatic and eat all things fried during the glorious 10 days of The Fair. I have lived in Clark County since 2004 and consider […]
If it smells like radiator fluid, it must be Demo Derby night
We are in the packed Grandstands and the first round of tonight’s Demolition Derby just ended. There is smoke and the aroma of various vehicle fluids in the air. It was a great show! And there is still more to come! There were 19 small and mid-sized cars crashing around the dirt arena. The cars […]
YEAH to helping a kid and a family in need tomorrow
I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself but I think this is info you need to know today so you can plan ahead. Tomorrow is the Junior Livestock Auction. It is a BIG deal to a lot of people, most especially the kids who have been working very hard raising, nurturing, feeding, […]
Add hypnosis to your schedule the next 3 nights
One of my most favorite shows at the Fair is Jerry Harris’s hypnosis show. He is on stage for two shows every night and every show is different because of the brave folks who join him. Personally, I could never volunteer to get up on stage, be hypnotized, and provide entertainment to all the fraidy […]

The monkeys are just as cute as Davy Jones
The newest entertainment this year is the “Wild About Monkeys” show out by the Green Gate. It stars two baboons, two teeny tiny monkeys, a fluffy dog, and a pair of married humans. The entire cast is well-trained and adorable (even the humans). A number of the animals have been featured in movies I’ve never […]
Boss Hog is a Champ
Unless you are looking at a map or are just wandering without direction, it can be a little tricky to stumble upon the Pig Barn (officially called Hogs). The snorting bacon-slabs-on-feet are out in the southwest corner of the Fairgrounds on the backside of the Grandstands. I was just meandering through the pens and happened […]
Photogenic Fair Court at Your Service!
Remember those fun, friendly spokespeople I mentioned before the Fair started? The three young women who are ambassadors throughout the year for all things Clark County Fair? Well, just like I promised, they are happily wandering around the Fairgrounds in between scheduled appearances, eager to meet you and pose for photos. Score! Princess Brooke, Queen […]
Fair Food Feast Parade ~ Day 6
I continue to eat. YAY! I still haven’t sampled a second deep fried goodie from the Sweet Cheeks truck but I think I might be real close. I’m debating between the Deep Fried Twizzler Twinkie and the Deep Fried Bacon Wrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Until then, here’s today’s parade: […]
