The Baxter County Fair’s main activities will get underway Tuesday with the opening of the carnival, and the first night is free admission. The carnival will be open Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 9:30 each night and Saturday from noon to 9:30.
The carnival provider, PBJ Happee Day Shows of Marion, will sponsor the free night of admission on Tuesday. For the remainder of the fair, gate admission is $5 for ages 6-and-older and free for 5-and-younger. For anyone looking to get a free pass, the fair is partnering with Hardee’s. Individuals can order a large combo meal from the restaurant and receive a pass into the gate.
Fair attendees still have an opportunity to purchase carnival ride tickets at a discounted price. Throught Tuesday afternoon, 24 tickets are $20, 12 tickets are $10, and six tickets are $5. Baxter County Fair Board President Glenn Priebe says discounted tickets can be purchased at various locations.
