I hear the band playing Saturday night is awesome! Everyone should go hear them!!!
when are armband nights and how much do they cost at the fair
Armband nights are Wednesday & Thursday from 6-10 p.m., and again Saturday from 1-5.
how much are the armbands?
Does anyone know how much the armbands are going to cost? I am trying to plan a trip for my youth group at church for Saturday. As best I could tell, the newspaper didn’t say how much they were going to cost either.
Who won the parade? and arm bands can be purchased from a monticello cheerleader for 12.00 and 15.00 at the gate
Hi,
can anyone tell me please if you need to register ahead of time for the dog show on Sat? also are there any requirements, or do you dress the dogs etc, like they did a previous year. and how much is it for the entrance fee? Thanks a bunch….
I got stuck in the mud! I tried to drive across the field to park on the other side and I got stuck! :( They had to pull me out and I just want to say thank you to all the people who volunteered to use their vehicles to pull people out of the mud the other night. There really should be a parking lot there or somewhere near enough to there to make walking possible.
does any one know who to contact if you forgot to pick up your art from the fair
