THE LARIMER COUNTY FAIR, AUGUST 6-10

Offering a jam packed schedule of live entertainment and free attractions, the 2010 Larimer County Fair, presented by Ranch-Way Feeds, will take place August 6–10 at The Ranch in Loveland.  Introducing the new theme “Home Grown,” the LCF gates will open to the public on Friday, August 6 with an exciting 2010 entertainment schedule. The full schedule is now available online at www.LarimerCountyFair.org.

‘Toast to Ag BBQ’ and Bonfire will light up the opening night, sparking a new tradition for the Larimer County Fair. Join us at the BBQ at 6 p.m. while we support our local food growers for a home grown meal, followed by dancing in the dirt to live music by the light of the bonfire. Capping off the night’s festivities will be the AgLand Fireworks display.

New to the Fair in 2010 the Ham Bone Express Pig Races will be hogging the limelight.  Races will run daily August 6–10 with multiple races featuring Arnold Schwarzenpigger and Claude VanHam.  The audience will have a chance to judge ‘the swiftest swine off the line,’ as they cheer on their favorite pig to the finish line.  For previews visit www.hamboneexpress3.com.­

Back by popular demand will be the Gnarly Barley Brew Festival presented by Shock Top held on Saturday, August 7 in addition to Splash Dogs and JAX Timberworks Lumberjack Shows that will entertain crowds daily. Enjoy the Fair’s traditional events such as Bill Hames Carnival, PRCA Rodeos presented by Pederson Toyota, multiple 4-H events and exhibits, live music, family movie nights and firework displays.

Another new event to LCF and to Northern Colorado is Bullhide 4×4’s Truck and Jeep Show on Saturday.  Featuring custom trucks and jeeps, awards for multiple categories will be given to top participants that enter their automobile.  All proceeds from the Truck and Jeep Show will go to Larimer County Child Advocacy Center.
