The fair is happening NOW at Tim's Toyota Center.

And it's everything you expect a fair to be. Exhibits, artwork, quilts, food. Sheep, chickens and bunny rabbits. A carnival of rides. Live music performances. And much, much more.

Gary Spiker, the director of Tim's Toyota Center, explained, "On the floor, we're going to have a judging 40 x 40 foot ring where they can bring their sheep and cows inside and people can sit around now in the inside and watch it. We'll probably have more people here than we used to out there, because it was way in the back. We have a milking demonstration, from the kid's artwork to the quilts to pumpkins and vegetables and outside all the food vendors, carnivals bigger than ever, pony rides."

Carnival ride tickets can be purchased per ride, or at $25 for an all-day pass.While there is no admission for the Carnival rides, there is admission to the exhibit hall for $5, $3 for students and seniors. Active military is free.

Carnival Hours: Rides will be running from 11 AM to 11 PM Friday and Saturday, and from 11 AM to 7PM on Sunday.

Exhibit Hours: Friday and Saturday, 9 AM to 9 PM. Sunday, 9 AM to3 PM.
