Carson City Fair seeks volunteers
Organizers of the Carson City Fair are looking for up to 100 volunteers for next week’s event at Fuji Park.
“There’s all sorts of positions that vary from helping with the youth livestock show and dog show, or being inside working the information desk, or picking up trash,” said Lindsey Chichester, educator for University of Nevada Cooperative Extension. “Whether they want to be outside or inside with the air conditioning, that’s all up to them. We’ve got a little bit of everything.”
The second annual Carson City Fair kicks off Wednesday at Fuji Park and runs through July 29.
“Our goal with bringing the fair was to create a family friendly event,” Chichester said. “A lot of the performances and exhibits are free. It should be a fun time.”
The fair will feature livestock auctions and exhibits.
“This year, all livestock animals will be in the barn and the show tent will be in the grassy area,” she said. “That will be better because it will be shaded.”
The carnival kicks of Wednesday with $1 ride night from 6-10 p.m. After that, $5 off coupons for wrist bands will be available at the RSVP booth.
Other events include antique tractor, car and semi-truck shows and tractor pulls.
Tickets are on sale for concerts on July 27 and 28.
Journey Unlimited, a Journey cover band, will play July 27. David John and the Comstock Cowboys will play July 28.
Tickets are $15 for adults; $10 for ages 16 and younger; a family four-pack is $45. Purchase tickets for both nights for $25 for adults; $15 for youth; and $80 for a family.
