(KNSI) – After canceling last year due to COVID-19, the Benton County Fair is set to start Tuesday, August 3rd and will run through Sunday, August 8th. Benton County Fair board member Nancy Zupan spoke with KNSI’s Dan Oschner and says this year’s fair will be pared back a little bit from previous fairs’ offerings. “We’re trying to do a lot of things that we did in the past,” Zupan said. “We’ve got some less booths in the arena.” However, lots of mainstay events and activities — the midway, the 4-H livestock auction and musical acts on the Cottonwood and Beer Garden stages — are planned for the fair week. There are some new things to do, too.
