Give me a word,
Give me a sign.
Show me where to look,
Tell me what will I find.
The signs say head to the Clark County Fair on Sunday to hear “Shine” by Collective Soul.
Shine is just one of seven No. 1 hits that Collective Soul charted on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. A couple of others that fans will be waiting in anticipation on Sunday: “December” and “Heavy.”
Sunday is the final night of three consecutive concerts in the grandstands. The arena will turn into a rodeo grounds and then become home for motorsports in the final seven days of the fair.
But first, we salute Collective Soul.
Of course, there are the other staples of the fair. Rides. Food. Vendors. Acts throughout the day on the community stage. Oh, and so many animals to see, too.
A friendly reminder that the fair opens at 10 a.m., but the carnival, with its thrill rides and family fun rides, does not open until noon.
On Sunday, there is a big race with little participants. The Diaper Derby is at 10:30 a.m. on the Family Fun Stage.
The Community Stage will host a hot dog eating contest at 12:30 p.m. (In my prime, I could probably eat a dozen or so. Just sayin’.)
Mars Encounters, the featured exhibit for families, is open all day, but also has three live shows throughout the day: 2:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m.
Those are just some of the highlights on Sunday. For a full list of activities, go to the fair schedule at: https://www.clarkcofair.com/daily-schedule
