Tri County Fair opens Friday

Farm animals, carnival rides and grandstand events will fill the fairgrounds in Mendota this weekend.  Gates open at 3pm Friday for the annual Tri County Fair.

Some of the highlights include megacross racing Friday night, the truck and tractor pulls Saturday, and the demolition derby Monday.

You can also put your skills to the test during a hot dog eating contest, bags tournament, and the farmer Olympics.

It’s free to go to the fair but grandstand events are not.  It runs through Monday.
