Boulder County Fair

The Boulder County Fair runs August 1st through the 11th at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. There are so many events - pancake breakfasts, art shows, concerts, tractor pulls, battle of the bands, flower show, carnival, and all things livestock related! :) Visit www.bouldercountyfair.org for more details! Their website is a bit, well, hard to navigate, so here is a direct link to ticket information. There are kick-off events this weekend - the Chuckwagon breakfast is from 6:30 to 10 am this Saturday (the 28th) at 4th and Kimbark. It's put on by the Twin Peaks Rotary Club and costs $5 for adults and $3 for kids (age not specified). There's also the parade on Saturday which starts at 10 am and runs through downtown Longmont. Here's a link showing the parade route.

Family Day is Wednesday, August 8th, which means kids under 12 get $2 admission and discounted carnival tickets. There will be junior art exhibits, storytellers, animals, toddler driving school (that sounds...interesting!), music and a pedal tractor pull.

Have you been to the Boulder County Fair before? I'd love to hear what your favorite events are, especially which ones your kids enjoy most!
