In his second year at the fair’s helm, Rizzardo attributes the high attendance to the fair’s partners, a very supportive community, and a wide variety of attractions.
“Children participate in carnivals. We now have 800 children showing off their livestock. “But there is something for everyone here. There’s something for everyone.And the food!Who doesn’t like fair food?
Rizzardo expects more than 100,000 visitors to pass through its gates this weekend.
