The Hamilton County Fair is back again with its 159th annual celebration. Organizers promise the fair gets “bigger and better each year.” The fair boasts everything from demolition derbies and motocross to cook-offs and contests to belly dancing, a big cat circus and professional wrestling. There’s even a cow milking demonstration. For kids, magic shows, puppets and an exotic animal petting zoo are featured daily. And who could forget the festival grub?
