It is almost that time of the year again; the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo will be making its annual stop in Amarillo starting September 17 through the 25th.
The mission of Amarillo Tri-State Exposition is to provide an educational, cultural and recreational experience for area citizens.
The fair is a place for people of all ages to enjoy some relaxation and some fun.
“We always try to target families,” Angela Ragland, Sponsorship and Marketing Director said. “We expect Dance Heads to be the hit of the fair as well as our great concert lineup.”
Dance Heads is one of the new attractions at the fair this year. It is similar to karaoke except there is no singing required. Choose a song, smile and bob your head to the beat.
WTAMU Ag Graduate Program will have presentations and displays that promote positive aspects of the agricultural industry. Other new attractions at the fair this fall include a petting zoo, pig races and camel rides provided by Hedrick’s Promotions Inc.
Food at the fair is something for people to enjoy. Main dishes include sandwiches, burgers, corndogs, turkey legs, tacos and many more.
“I cannot wait for the fair to open,” senior, Sociology major, Brant Nelson said. “There’s too many too choose from, but Cheese on a Stick and Fried Sneakers are some of my favorites.”
The fair is a good place for people to hang out with friends and family. Especially with the late hours the fair is open.
Junior, Graphic Designer, Taylor Meyer enjoys going to the fair to hang out with friends.
“The fair is a good place to hang out with friends in a different environment,” Meyer said. “We like the fair food and watching the different kinds of people and the things they do.”
Friday, September 17 is opening night and admission is half price all night. College night is Thursday, September 23, students show ID and admission is free all day, which includes gate admission, rodeo and the concert.
