Now that the 4th of July is over and maybe you’re wondering what activities there are around the Denver suburb of Aurora, CO? I highly recommend the Arapahoe County Fair. I have been to this fair over the years and they do a GREAT job, tons of activities and at a “Fair” price.The County Fair is part of Aurora’s history even before the town was incorporated.
The first Arapahoe County Fair was held in 1906 and over the years it’s location has changed and it finally settled on its current, permanent location in 2006. I just visited the grounds and they’ve completed a new livestock complex and they’re in process of more major upgrades and expansion including a new exhibit hall opening in 2016. The fair has a good variety of attractions where kids and adults can have fun and learn a few things. Live entertainment, carnival rides, concerts, crafts, demonstrations, pie eating contests, 4H, and my favorite…the truck/tractor pulling. Oh and I almost forgot – FIREWORKS! I love fireworks and they put on a great show. Colorado State University and Arapahoe County have partnered together and have a 4H program, which is one of the highlights at the fair. Lots of the crafts, projects, research and of course the animals are from the kids in the 4H program. You’ll see goat, sheep, small animals and more. This is a great program for kids so go and support them. Leave a Reply. |
