4-H and FFA Children’s Barnyard Interactive - Agricultural Learning Exhibits and Activities
This area provides an opportunity for the public to interact with the farming community. See, touch and feed live farm animals. Milk goats, watch eggs hatching, play in the hay, dig into the corn . Bottle feed the dairy calves, watch sheep wool being made into yarn and become a part of so many more farm activities.
Be amazed at the many contributions that these animals make to your daily life. See first hand how every ingredient in something as simple as a slice of pizza, was once a living growing component of a farm.

These are NOT junkers, they are racing machines with built engines and complex steel cages and safety bars to reduce but probably not eliminate injuries. The racers are passionate about winning and they are professionals. The crashes are real and the danger is real. They do it because they love it! Be there, they are free and fun! - Date: Friday, September 3

The Fearless Flores Family are 9 generations of circus and travel all over the country performing at fairs/festivals and just about any event imaginable. They are based in FL , but are only home 2 months a year. The feature attraction is the Globe of Death. This 14 ft steel cage is the setting for some mindblowing motorcycle madness. 2 motorcycles at the same time racing around and criss-crossing over the top. As if riding a motorcycle in a cage isnt wild enough, one of the riders is one of about 5 females to take on this challenging feat.
FreakShow Deluxe hits the stage like a raucous freight-train - full of sexy performers, stunning visuals and a sense of humor that keeps the audience enthralled. Like the voice from a bygone era, the FreakShow Deluxe comes straight out of America's mythology. It is a dark vaudevillian extravaganza that keeps spectators coming back for more.
- Supersonic Swine!
3 or 4 times a day these world famous pigs will tear up the track as the crowd cheers. This is not to be confused with Churchill Downs. The pigs are somewhat smaller than horses and a lot funnier. Next door, they have pony rides, a 100 animal petting zoo, and a giant pig. Hambone Express will entertain young and old.

- Meet & Greet "Sam" from iCarly
Come meet and take a picture with Jennette McCurdy “Labor Day” - Sept 6, 2010. Jennette will be greeting and taking pictures from 12noon to 4pm at the Delta Fair. If you would like her signature, we have her official color headshot for sale for $5.00 cash. You can buy them while you are standing in line. Due to copywrite restrictions, she will be unable to sign anything else. This would include downloaded pictures from the internet or any Tee Shirts with her picture on it. I would suggest you get there as soon as the fair opens, because we expect long lines, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that everyone in line will be able to get a picture. We cannot go past the 4pm time due to flight connections. However, we will make every attempt to accommodate everyone who comes.

- Really FAST!
Friday, September 10th - 7pm
Nobody mows faster. The dust will fly as mowers reach speeds of around 60 mph on our Derby Track. Yes, there is a real United States Lawn Mower Racing Association. These guys are members and they really put on a show. They all want to make it to the nationals. This is family fun and entertainment. Cheer them on! - Did you really think you could hold on?
All day every day the mechanical bull will reduce over inflated egos to reality. The operator will control it to be tame for kids and humbling for grownups. Either way its fun to watch or ride.
Young minds are fascinated by the images of powerful knights and beautiful ladies. Nothing captures their attention and imagination like having the Imperial Knights bring these images to life right in front of them. Their jousts are FULL CONTACT! They do not use break-away lances or fake hits. Each pass is real and so is the danger!
