Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Stanislaus County Fair kicks off its centennial celebration this Friday, July 15, with some old memories and some new additions. Opening night promotions include: All carnival rides will be just $1 and guests will get a spectacular fireworks show on the opening night of the Fair, July 15th.

 
“This year’s Fair is a centennial extravaganza,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “We are excited to celebrate the Fair’s long-standing history, as well as introduce some great new additions to our Fair guests’ experience.”
 
 A Centennial Exhibit will be open to the public to walk down memory lane and look at memorabilia from the past 100 years of the Fair. The exhibit will be open Weekdays: 5pm – 11pm and Weekends: Noon – 11pm.
 
‘Jest in Time’ is a new circus act to the fair featuring Topper Todd and Li Li Zucchini. The duo will entertain kids and adults alike with their jokes and wacky antics. The pair will be entertaining Monday – Friday at 6pm & 8:30pm and Saturdays and Sundays at 3:30, 5:30, and 8:30pm.
 
A StanCoFair Mobile App is another new addition to this year’s fair. The free app provides an interactive fair experience including maps, daily discounts, pictures, and other information. The app is iPhone and Android compatible.
 
SCVNGR! is back this year. The text based mobile scavenger hunt game is an exciting opportunity for fair guests to win big. Every day of the fair, players get asked numerous questions regarding something specific to the fair that day. For each question correctly answered, points are received. The player with the most points receives an iPad and 4 Disneyland Park Hopper Tickets, courtesy of KAT County 103.3 as well as a 100 Year Pass for the fair, effective until 2110. To play, text ‘FAIR’ to 728647.
 
The popular Rainforest Adventure exhibit is also back this year along with the Rainforest Animal Show. The Rainforest exhibit is 8,000 square feet of beautiful and exotic reptiles, birds, and mammals. The Rainforest Show, sponsored by Monte Vista Small Animal Hospital, is 20 minutes of fun and education about the animals, including star of the show the Capuchin monkey.
 
The Rainforest exhibit is open Weekdays:  5 – 11pm and Weekends: Noon – 11pm.
The Rainforest Animal Show is held Weekdays: 5:45, 6:45, and 8pm and Weekends: 4:15, 5:30, 6:45, & 8pm.
 
Along with the Rainforest, the fair wouldn’t be complete without 4-H and the Farmyard experience. Full of farm animals and a petting zoo, this is a must-stop for kids.
The 4-H area will be open: Weekdays:  5-10pm and Weekends: Noon to 10pm.
 
Lowe’s Playhouse provides an opportunity for kids to make and take home projects. The projects and fun are free, and every child that participates will also take home a free Lowe’s work apron.
“Make & Take” Hours for the Playhouse are: Weekdays 5:30 & 7:30 and Weekends 3, 5, and 7pm. 
 
Fair guests 55+ will have a place to call their own during the 10 days of Fair.
