The 2008 Boulder County Fair will take place August 1st through the 9th from 10 am to 10 pm at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. It seems they really listened to the public's feedback from last year because this year there will be no entrance fees and no parking fees! Hooray! There are still some ticketed events like the tractor pull and demolition derby, but you won't have to pay a gate admission to access the livestock and other fair events. There will be a carnival and kids area with fun events every day. Unfortunately they haven't improved their website at all but with a little luck and perseverance you can find what you're looking for! The main site is http://www.bouldercountyfair.org/ and the daily schedules can be accessed from http://www.bouldercountyfair.org/funatthefair.htm. The Times Call usually publishes a good listing of daily events too.
One event not to be missed is the Boulder County Fair Parade on Saturday, August 2nd at 10 am! The parade runs along Main Street and is usually full of fun bands and floats! There's also a Chuckwagon breakfast from 6:30 to 10 that morning - I can't seem to find the exact location on their website (besides "downtown") so I'll post more info on that when I get it.

Traditionally, I believe, that the chuckwagon breakfast, put on by clubs like the Rotary, is at Fourth Avenue and Kimbark Street. My now 4 yo daughter and I try to go every year and the food and friendship is a pretty great way to start the day.
