Getting Ready!

Frontier Park was closed to the public starting July 30th, and soon, the Fairgrounds were buzzing with volunteers getting ready for the Fair. Dazzling red, white, and blue colors coordinated with the Fair's theme of "Stars, Stripes & Summer Nights." Knutson Farms donated colorful flowering plants for the Fairgrounds. Shelly Bennett, the Fair Manager, and others kept the plants flourishing by watering them during the hot weather.
