Carnival Begins Wednesday At Van Buren County Fair

The Van Buren County Fair is underway.

It will continue until this Saturday with several competitions and events scheduled each night. Junior Fair Board Member Cade Simmons said the carnival called “Amusement on the Midway” kicks off Wednesday night.

“It doesn’t matter age or anything like that,” Simmons said. “We have our oldest members and youngest members of our community. They all have amazing talents, so it is super awesome that we can share those and also enjoy a fair and carnival through out the week.”

Simmons said Wednesday will also be the discount night for rides. Thursday will have the poultry and pet shows. Simmons said Friday will be the busiest night of the week. Simmons said it will be senior citizens night as well as the greased pig and corn hole contests.

The fair wraps up Saturday with the cross cut saw and the chain saw challenge.
