New Twists to the 2016 Four States Fair & Rodeo Schedule and Ticket Prices
The Fair is adding a few new twists and events to the line-up of fun this year. Here are the ticket prices, new events and the schedule for the 72nd Annual Four States Fair and Rodeo, Friday, September 9, through Sunday, September 18.
McDonald's daily unlimited ride armbands will replace the ride-em cowboy days on the first weekend of the Fair and Farmers' Bank and Trust daily unlimited ride armbands will be the last weekend. The good news is these armbands are during the weekends instead of during the school week.
The rodeo kicks off on Wednesday night with PRCA Xtreme Bull Riding, which means bulls, bulls and more bulls. The normal RAM PRCA Rodeo will start on Thursday and run through Saturday night.
Bob Bohm's Family will perform nightly on the Entertainment Stage at 5:30PM, 6:30PM and 7:30PM. Spectators will see magic, comedy, and audience participation. This show should be great family fun.
The parade will remain downtown as in previous years.
