There will be shows at the fair offered various nights, including The Wolves of The World Show, The FARMily Feud Show and Comedy Magic Show by Bob Bohme. One of the exhibits includes an old-time creamery where visitors can milk a cow and pasteurize for a finished product, the event’s website reads.
“Through their bilingual demonstrations, they show that agriculture has no barriers. Kids get hands-on experiences with the process of making butter and ice cream using historic tools and machines in these processes, and they learn the concept of ‘homemade,’ just the way grandma used to do it,” the website says.
Some of the main attractions setting up at the fairgrounds include:
- Giant Wheel - “Our Century Giant Wheel is one of the focal points of our midway and gives riders a bird’s eye view of the midway and surrounding area. Each of the gondolas seat 4-6 passengers and stands over 90 ft. tall. At night, the wheel lights up, with thousands of multi-color computer controlled LED lights for a spectacular light show that can be seen from miles away.”
- Hyper Loop - “The Hyper Loop has 16 seats on a giant pendulum that swings back and forth. The pendulum has an enormous amplitude and can swing up to the range of 130 degrees on each side. In addition, the seats rotate around the pendulum axis. G-force can reach 1.5 do 2.5G. At night, the Hyper Loop comes alive with an awesome LED light show, strobe lights with high energy popular music.”
- Sky Wheel - “The Sky Wheel is a super spectacular ride that is rarely seen on carnival midways in present day. The Sky Wheel features two ferris wheels attached to opposite ends of a large boom that rotates in the air. Many traveling carnivals no longer operate a Sky Wheel due to transportation and maintenance costs. Big Rock Amusements is proud to present the ONLY ride of it’s kind to feature a state of the art LED lightshow in America.”
- Yo-Yo - “This giant swing ride lifts passengers up off the ground, then swings them out over the crowds. All while tilting slightly at full speed to give a thrilling “wave” effect while riding.”
There will also be children’s attractions, such as a Grand Carousel, a Fun Slide, a Speedway and a dragon-themed coaster.
Shows are included with gate admission. Admission costs $7. There are options to add an unlimited ride armband that cost $25 for Monday-Thursday entry and $30 for Friday-Sunday entry.
