The Fair is in Town!

 If you're looking for some summer fun through this week, look no farther than the Clarksville Speedway! There is still a week left to enjoy the Montgomery County Fair, which is coming to a close this Saturday on the 19th of June. While the Monster Truck show was unfortunately canceled this year, there is still a great deal of things to do!

My boyfriend and I attended the fair this past Saturday. With a $5 admission fee and $25 wristbands (which allow visitors unlimited access-- tickets for rides are also available), we found the price very worth full access to all of the staple fair rides. My favorites were the spinning strawberries and, of course, the classic ferris wheel. I especially liked the Montgomery County Fair's F\ferris wheel which, instead of the usual two-person seats, had little carriages that could fit a small group or family-- and is far better for someone with a fear of heights! 

The Pig and Duck races were an absolute must to watch, and fair-goers can find showtimes displayed in the fair if you too enjoy watching cute animals race! At the pig race, children were given the chance to be active participants as head cheerleaders of different sections. Who wouldn't want to cheer for adorable potbelly pigs with racing names like "Ham Solo"? Winners, of course, walked away with a pig nose. Though I'm not a child, I still thoroughly enjoyed watching the pigs complete racing laps.

Admission prices to the fair are as follows: $5 for adults as well as children 12 and up, and $3 for children ages 4-11. Children ages 3 and under are free to enter! Wristbands that allow unlimited access to rides are $25 with military and first responders receiving a $10 discount on Monday the 14th as well as Wednesday the 16th!
