The Budweiser Clydesdales are scheduled to perform once again at the Clark County Fair, and the Monster Trucks will roar in the grandstands arena on the final day of the Best 10 Days of Summer

Clark County Today
They called it the Best 10 Days of Summer.
Well, here we are, the tenth day.
This is it. Sunday at the Clark County Fair.
And like a fireworks show, the fair is having one grand finale.
The majestic Budweiser Clydesdales, who wowed the crowd on Thursday, are back on parade beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday. Come see eight gentle giants, and King the Dalmation, up close and personal.
In the grandstands arena, even bigger beasts. Monster Trucks are loud and proud and will make a spectacle of themselves at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. These trucks always draw huge crowds. And to those crowds, a reminder: The forecast for Sunday is mid to high 90s. Stay hydrated.
The daily featured exhibit Ice Age Adventures will be open all day, with three live, educational shows at 2:30, 4:30, and 6:30 p.m.
Curly the Camel and Friends will welcome guests, as well.
Dogtown opens at 11 a.m.
And there are the Pirate’s Parrot Live Bird Show and the All Creatures Barnyard Racing.
A few other highlights:
There is a pie eating contest at the Community Stage at 1 p.m.
And at 3:45 p.m., the Anavai O Te Ora Polynesian Dancers take the stage.
The final day of the fair also means the final day of Butler Amusements carnival rides. A reminder that the rides open at noon. The carnival is often busy right up to closing time on Sunday, at 10 p.m. In recent years, the rule of thumb has been if you are in line for a ride at 10 p.m., operators will remain open until everyone enjoys the ride. No guarantee that will happen, but that has happened in recent years.
