1. The 161st edition of the Barry County Fair starts today and continues through next Saturday at the Barry Expo Center on M-37, north of Hastings. The mission of our fair, as it has been for these many years. is to entertain us, to teach us and to serve the youth of our community with the hundreds of activities that make up fair week. Check the schedule in this week’s Reminder or pick up a copy at Bosley Pharmacy on South Jefferson Street. The fair has scheduled action events each day including Autocross, Motocross, a Mud-Run, Harness Racing, the Broken Horn Professional Rodeo, Skydive Wayland, a hot air balloon ascent and ending with the spectacular Demolition Derby on Saturday evening, co-sponsored by “The Medbug,” invited to be the “pace car” but those plans were cancelled due to a lack of faith in the derby drivers. The community tent will feature Justin Straube from the Seasonal Grille on Thursday, Ladies Day, along with a free lunch. Other events include the WBCH Country Showdown, a Country Music Jamboree and more including bingo, horse drawn rides, a farm animal birthing tent and a children’s tent. The heart of the fair, the Giant Midway from Gold Medal Shows starts at 6pm on Monday and continues daily. For more fair information call 269-945-2224 or log on to www.barryexpocenter.com. Daily Fair passes are $5, season passes are $15. Grand stand shows are extra, parking is free, all in all, the biggest entertainment bargain of the year. Or, sing “Scarborough Fair” from the South Jefferson Street Fair Stage (the soapbox) this week, loudly, proudly for all to hear and we will buy you a season pass to this year’s fair. (Limit 3) 2. While the many fair events are great entertainment, don’t forget that the main reason for the celebration is to recognize & support the hundreds of kids from 4-H & FFA who spend hours preparing the numerous exhibits and animals to be judged at the fair. It is a learning experience for all of them. Your attendance at the presentations and your support in bidding for the animals is a major part of the experience and is much appreciated by the kids and their families. The Small Animal Auction (rabbits, turkeys, chickens, goats, etc.) is on Thursday evening beginning at 5:30pm and the Large Animal Auction is at 9 am on Friday. All bidders get in free and are invited to enjoy the lunch served during the auction. Attend, bid and enjoy. 3. One of the important parts of Fair Week is the annual Barry County Steam, Gas & Antique Machinery Association Show that runs all week at the fair grounds in conjunction with the fair. Activities include tractor, steam & gas engine events daily, the Tractor Parade each evening, tractor pulls, tractor displays, tractor games, corn grinding, threshing and more. Pick up a show book and enjoy the many activities during fair week. 4. The annual Civil War Muster at Charlton Park is next weekend, July 20-21. History comes alive with hundreds of re-enactors depicting Confederate and Union Infantry, Cavalry & Artillery units. Shop Sutler Row, play games, see military demonstrations and attend the daily battle activities. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for kids (5-12), 4 & under get in free.
