Organizers say there’s something for everyone in the family to do at the Cobden Fair this weekend. The fun starts this afternoon (Friday) with the midway rides and continues into the night with live music and entertainment. Fair President Steve Schultz says opening ceremonies are tonight at 7:00 pm. However, the rides will get going at noon and continue until 11:00 pm. Schultz says they expect about 5,000 to 6,000 people to attend the fair over the course of the weekend. He says you get a lot for your ticket price.
The President of the Cobden Fair says they have a wide variety of 4-H shows, rabbit agility courses, horse draws, tractor pulls, exotic animals on display, delicious food, music from the Riley New Band and Shania Twin and the derby starts at 7:00 pm on Saturday night with cars and combines. Schultz says tickets are $20 at the gates and that gets you access to all the rides and musical entertainment. The midway is open from noon until 11:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, it only costs $15 to get in and the rides will run from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. The fair grounds are located at 43 Astrolabe Road in Cobden and there will be free parking available if you can find a spot.
