George Thorogood and the Destroyers to perform Saturday night
The excitement of opening day is over, but the excitement for the 10-day run of the Clark County Fair is still in its beginning stages.
It’s Day 2 of the fair, and here are some of the highlights when Fun Meets Farm on Saturday, Aug. 5:
George Thorogood and the Destroyers will prove they are still Bad to the Bone when they take the stage at the grandstands at 7 p.m. A ticket to the fair is all that is needed to watch the show in the grandstands. VIP and reserved tickets are available at an added price, too.
The Washington State Fiddle Championships begin with two performances on Saturday. The first goes from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Then another performance goes from 2 to 5 p.m.
There is a Pretty Baby Contest at 11:30 a.m.
For the older crowd — well, at least older than babies — there is a watermelon eating contest at 1 p.m.
A special kids rodeo takes place in the equestrian area at 5 p.m.
Of course, there are also the featured events every day at the fair this year. They include the Wizard’s Challenge, opening every day at 10 and open until the fair’s closing time. The Fun Zone for children goes from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. DogTown opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m.
Curly the Camel and Friends, Butterfly Adventures, and the Bee Barn are open for much of the day. Plus there are several shows a day for the Pirate’s Parrot Live Bird Show.
There are plenty of other music options throughout the day, as well as shows from hypnotist Jerry Harris, and Magician Adam the Great, and Professor Smart’s Science Show.
Plus, clowns, jugglers, comedians and more will be “strolling” around the fairgrounds all day.
