Thursday is Dairy Day and Armed Forces Day at the fair. Veterans will be honored with a ceremony, parade and a helicopter flyover and several events and activities throughout the day will showcase the state’s dairy industry.
The fair continues through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4. The midway is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day of the fair except for Labor Day when it closes at 9 p.m.
