The Baxter County Fair’s main events will begin Tuesday with the opening of the carnival, and the first night is free admission. The carnival will be open Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 9:30 each night and Saturday from noon to 9:30.
The carnival’s provider, PBJ Happy Day Shows of Marion, will sponsor the free admission night on Tuesday. For the remainder of the fair, gate admission is $5 for ages 6 and under and free for ages 5 and under. For anyone looking to get a free pass, the fair is partnering with Hardee’s. Individuals can order a large combo meal from the restaurant and receive a pass at the gate.
Fairgoers still have an opportunity to purchase carnival ride tickets at a discounted price. On Tuesday afternoon, 24 tickets are $20, 12 tickets are $10 and six tickets are $5. Baxter County Fair Board President Glenn Priebe says discount tickets can be purchased at various locations.
