ALLISON — The 2016 Butler County Fair opens Tuesday, as local youth show off their 4-H exhibits and a variety of entertainment comes to the county for a six-day run.
Back this year are popular events such as the NAPA Night of Destruction (Wednesday), Chuckwagon Racing (Saturday) and Barnyard Battles (Sunday) as well as entertainment from Diamond Rio (Friday) and Hairball (Thursday).
At the heart of the fair, however, are the 4-H livestock and non-livestock shows. Holly Merritt, Butler County Extension’s Youth Coordinator, said she and the rest of the Extension staff is excited about this year’s event, particularly an event that had to be called off a year ago due to Iowa’s avian flu outbreak.
“One of the things we’re really excited about is that the poultry show is back this year,” she said.
