We take our dairy pretty seriously here at the Fair. We’ve got lots of cows, baby calves and even milk! That’s right, our cows also provide milk that Fair guests can enjoy. Pop over to FairView Farms and enjoy some of the freshest milk you’ve ever tasted. We’ve got chocolate, strawberry and the plain-ol-good-for-you white…
There’s been a lot of activity happening over in FairView Farms. Last night we had another baby calf born! We’d like to welcome Carlisle into the Fair family. Crowds gathered for several hours as the mother cow was in labor and our Director Farm Operations Sky Shivers shared about the whole process. This brings our…
The Weldes certainly know about the bear necessities. They family has been raising bears for 75 years.

And they’re off! The Fair is known each year for its live thoroughbred horse racing (started today!), but did you know they aren’t the only racing animals? Each year a pack of pint-sized porkers races round a mini rack to see who will be top hog. Well, the Barnyard Racers are back again… and this…
We’ve got an AMAZING variety of animals here at the Fair… and they’re not just in our FairView Farms. Mojo’s Jungle has tons of cool reptiles and birds, but my favorite of all is the marsupials!
