This year, that translates into seven days of fair fun and plenty of rides, cotton candy, farm animals, all kinds of exhibits and plenty of nightly Grand- stand action. The annual week of summer fun kicks off Sunday, July 10, and runs through Saturday, July 16, at the Gibson County Fairgrounds. The fairgrounds are located along North Embree Street on the north side of Princeton, near Princeton Commu- nity High School. With more than 60 acres of space, the fairgrounds feature numerous merchant and exhibit build- ings, several stages, a large Pavilion, the Grandstands and ample amounts of parking—all within minutes of U.S. 41 and downtown Princeton. Highlights include: truck and trac- tor pulls, drag racing, mud volleyball, motocross, pageants, hog wrestling, live music, and, of course, great food and rides every night. Friday, July 15 at 8 p.m. is the fair's biggest event, the Toyota concert featur- ing Old Dominion. "Their first single 'Break Up With Him' rocketed to the number one spot and their second single 'Snapback' is soaring up the charts right now. Old Dominion has received two CMA nomi- nations, a spot on Kenny Chesney's The Big Revival Tour and selling out their own shows all over the country," the Gibson County Fair website says about Old Dominion. Admission to the grounds is $5 daily, and all grandstand events are free. A full list can be found online at www. gibsoncountyfair.com. GIBSON COUNTY 4-H Fairgoers are also encouraged to tour the 4-H Building and check out the work completed by the county's youth, who are students in grades 3 through 12. The Gibson County Fair Board provides the facilities at the fairgrounds so 4-H members can showcase their exhibits. The Pavilion serves as the livestock exhibit hall and show arena for everything from rabbits to sheep to goats to horses during the fair.
