It's Fair Time!

Attending the Nevada State Fair will take you back to the good old days when agriculture was king and cotton candy was a special treat. You will find all the traditional livestock events and 4-H kids from all over Nevada. There's a carnival midway and all those fun rides for kids and adults who like to act like kids. Be sure to check out the truck pull, demolition derby, splash dogs, and the famous Wiener Dog Races. I've been to the State Fair and can attest that it is really a hoot and great for families. Admission includes all grandstand events and entertainment (except box seats, carnival rides, and camel and pony rides). Fair parking on the grounds of the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center is free.

The 2009 Nevada State Fair runs from August 26th through the 30th. It's held at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center, 1350 N. Wells Avenue in Reno. Tickets can be purchased online. Discount admission and ride tickets are available from Scolari's and Sak 'n Save markets. The Fair information phone number is (775) 688-5767.
