Here’s what we think you shouldn’t miss:

  • Lumberjack shows | Various times on Saturday + Sunday | These shows perform all over the world + include log rolling, chopping, sawing, axe throwing, and a dragster chainsaw competition.
  • Pie eating contest | Sunday at 3 p.m. | Gather round to watch the competitors see who can eat their pies in the fastest amount of time.
  • Fireworks | Sunday at sunset | Conclude the fair with a fireworks show at the Dr. Pepper Stage.

And of course, don’t miss the live music performances by acts like Sister Hazel, Larry Fleet, Brandon Davis, and Leanna Crawford.
