If you haven't had a chance to make it to the Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo, you still have one more opportunity Saturday, August 28th.

Dubbed Fiesta Foods Day at the fair, your little ones can enjoy a retriever dog competition in the morning, Super Science Company activities in the Kids' Zone from 10 am to 6 pm, Carnival rides throughout the day, Picasso's Place art at noon in the Kids' Zone, a Horse Heaven Round Up rodeo at 7 pm and plenty of exhibits and dance shows that will keep the family busy.

Parents with older children will benefit from an extra hour of fun on rides as the fair stays open until midnight. Be sure to get a stamp as you leave the fairgrounds if you plan to return and keep your parking stub as your purchase is good for the entire day.

The smell of elephant ears and scones will soon fill the air, and that means the fair is here and the entertainment is plentiful! The Benton Franklin Fair boasts plenty of fun-filled activities for kids and teens of all ages, including livestock, rodeos, the demolition derby, concerts, carnival rides, exhibitor booths and of course the wonderful taste of fair food. (It's all fat free, right?) This year marks the fair's 62^nd birthday. The gates open on Tuesday, August 24^th and runs through August 28^th. Kids 5 and under get in for free, youth 6 to 12 get in for $5 and those older than 13 pay $12.

Wristbands for carnival rides are also available, and if you want to save $5 in parking, the transit will be offering additional routes to get you to and from the fairgrounds. The fair is open from 9 am until 11 pm until Saturday when the fair stays open until midnight.
