We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
The so-square-it’s-almost-hip fest features ostrich races (naturally), swine races (not quite so naturally), a demolition derby, a sea-lion show, a “Thrill Circus” featuring the “Globe of Death,” medieval jousting, and an odd slate of live music that ranges from contemporary country crooner Mark Chesnutt (pictured) to the antediluvian pop band The Grass Roots to Beatles and Led Zeppelin cover bands. Go at your own risk — though you might unwittingly find yourself diggin’ it.
