The annual Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival comes to Indio Feb. 12-21, and the event offers family entertainment that’s steeped in history. Now in its 64th year, the Fair is a high-profile ten-day event that features a series of headliner entertainers, monster truck shows, big air motorcycles, cooking shows, a livestock auction, over 200 exhibitors, and more … including dates … The fair, which started in the early 1920s has grown into a mega event, complete with livestock auctions, food, a carnival and much more. According to a news release from the Fair and National Date Festival Press Office, the concept of this fair all began with dates and celebrates the end of the annual date harvest in the desert region, the major commercial date-producing area in the western hemisphere. Dates were an unknown commodity in the desert until 1903 when date palms were transplanted there from Algeria, event officials said in the news release. Eventually, enough acreage was planted to make dates a major crop for the area. Date groves in the Coachella Valley were such a novelty that they became a tourist attraction. With the popularity of the date gardens, the idea was planted for the...The Progress News: Beach Boys returning to Clearfield Fair

STUART — Two country music concerts and heaps of entertainment highlighting the rural side of the county are on tap for the 51st installment of the Martin County Fair starting Friday at a family-friendly $5 price tag. Georgia-bred musician Colt Ford will perform Saturday night and country group Love and Theft will take the stage next Thursday headlining the nine-day event. This year’s fair includes a healthy portion of new activities — added amusement rides, new headlining music acts and a slew of educational agricultural programs. Plenty of time-tested favorites will return, such as the Miss Martin County Pageant, Anastasini Circus, and livestock shows. Low ticket prices are also coming back for the fair’s 2010 rendition. After cutting the admission price in half for its 50th anniversary last year, fair organizers were able to keep costs at the gate at $5. Next Tuesday, seniors will get in for $2, and kids’ admission is free Wednesday. “We tried to keep it within the reach of the public,” said fair executive director Jim Overton. “$5 admission is pretty reasonable. We’re trying to keep the kids and families in mind. You can’t even see a movie for $5 anymore.” via www.tcpalm.comBikers miffed that State Fair turned them away - St. Petersburg Times
TAMPA — They rolled up on motorcycles Sunday, looking for a good time and fried goodies like everyone else at the state fair. About 50 bikers from an array of clubs stepped off their hogs wearing group patches on their leather jackets, only to be turned away. Fair rules, enforced by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, ban gang colors or signs. "That's a common practice at the fair and the Strawberry Festival," said Debbie Carter, a sheriff's spokeswoman. But a lawyer representing the bikers says their First Amendment rights have been violated. "They're trying to stifle people's rights by using a blanket policy," said Tarpon Springs attorney Jerry Theophilopoulos. "It's suppressing their right to associate in public." Individual bikers contacted by the Times declined to be interviewed. Carter defended the fair's policy. "It's a potential for something to go wrong," Carter said. "People are asked not to display colors for the safety of themselves and everyone else attending." Sometimes gang members show up wearing the same red bandana slung around their necks, she said. Or they might all wear the same style and color of clothing. She said deputies stationed at fair entrances, where signs state the rules, give people...Facebook | Powers Great American Midways's Photos - Wall Photos

The Greene County Fair Board is sponsoring a contest open to all Greene County residents, whatever your age, to submit a theme for this year’s fair. With the theme idea, provide an accompanying logo that can be used on fair T-shirts, fair booklets and other material. “When we took our display to the state fair convention last year everybody had a theme and logo that was consistent,” said fair board member Sharon Lumadue of why the contest was created. “We didn’t have a consistent theme and logo so we decided we’d better jump on the bandwagon.” Added Sharon’s husband Ed, who is fair board chairman, “In the past our T-shirt design and other materials had nothing to do with our overall theme. We’d like to change that.” Those wishing to enter should submit their theme/logo entry on 8 ½ by 11 paper to: Greene County...TH - Local News Article
