Scoops of the Day
Storms Couldn’t Stop the Fun at the Red River Valley Fair 🎡
Despite a soggy start, the Red River Valley Fair powered through its first weekend with fireworks, fun, and family-friendly favorites. Severe weather on the 4th of July forced organizers to close early and postpone some key events, but safety came first, thanks to coordinated efforts between fair staff, the National Weather Service, and local law enforcement.
The fireworks finally lit up the sky on Saturday night, and a packed Demolition Derby drew crowds the following day. Attendees also enjoyed carnival rides, a birthing barn with newborn animals, and plenty of classic fair food and entertainment. The fair continues through the week.
