If you missed out on the Tuff Trucks Competition on Friday, no worries. There are two performances Saturday at the fair.
And if you are hungry — and we mean really, really hungry — you can participate in the annual Cheeseburger Eating Contest.
Plus, Team Sorting will take place in the Dr. Jack Giesy Arena.
This is the final Saturday of the 2025 Clark County Fair, and regular hours just don’t work. The fair is open an extra hour on Saturday, going strong until 11 p.m. The fair opens at 10 a.m, but a reminder that the carnival rides do not open until noon.
The Team Sorting competition allows horse and rider to team up to sort cattle in a timed event. That competition begins at 10 a.m.
The Toddler Trot Contest is at noon at the Kids’ Park.
The cheeseburger eating contest is at 1 p.m. at the Community Stage.
The headliner at the grandstands, for the second day in a row, is Tuff Trucks. The Tuff Trucks get rough at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Oh, and fairgoers can catch a ride on Monster Trucks at the grandstands, as well.
The daily featured exhibit Ice Age Adventures will be open all day. There are three live, educational shows, too: At 2:30, 4:30, and 6:30 p.m.
The area that holds Curly the Camel and Friends will be open all day, as well.
Dogtown opens at 11 a.m.
And there are the Pirate’s Parrot Live Bird Show and the All Creatures Barnyard Racing.
