This year, a special interactive activity will be available for two nights only. On Tuesday and Thursday Sept. 5, starting at 5 p.m., there will be a scavenger hunt throughout the grounds. Just stop by the fair office to pick up the list. At the end of each night, points will be added up and prizes awarded to the first and second place winners.

September 4 will be a special Sensory Day sponsored by Superior HealthPlan, tailored to guests with sensory processing difficulties. Between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., lights and sounds will be limited so that entire families can enjoy the experience that might otherwise be overwhelming.
