  Speaker 1: which's going to give us all of the details on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know, admissions again, fair prices again, those types of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: things today right here on wix M. So let's start
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with that. Let's start with the basic information about the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Ogle County Fair. When is it going to be held?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Now, it starts Wednesday. Our gates will open at three o'clock.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's July the thirtieth. On Wednesday, July the thirtieth,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: gates open at three pm. And it runs for how long?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It runs through Sunday and we on Sunday at four
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: That's August the third. So again August the third, so
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it runs from this is then a very nice long
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I mean this is this is five days that we're
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: talking five day fair that we're talking about in Ogle County. Now,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: before we get to fair events and Brenda's going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: run down, like I mentioned, day by day events starting
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: with Wednesday. Let's talk about the location first of all
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of the fair. Where is it at.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's located between Oregon and Mount Morris on Route sixty
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: four of Oregon.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Right west of Oregon. This is on Lime Kiln Road
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: road Lime Kiln Road in Oregon. It's an easy access
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just off of as you mentioned, Illinois sixty four. Yeah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: between Oregon and Mount More. It's just the little piece
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of the way out of Oregon towards Mount Morris. But
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you take that right hand turn off of sixty four
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and you're right there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Keep a mile out of Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I can't miss it. You'll be inside of the old
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: County fair Grounds, which is in a nice area. By
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the way, I think it's a nice open area for
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the fair to be held. Now, before we get to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: daily events, what's the admission price to the fair?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: That you can get into the fair for ten dollars
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and that will get you everything except the grand stand.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So that even includes our carnival rides, which is a
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: fantastic price for and under are free and they can
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: get a wristband to ride the rides though for five dollars.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know what makes this fair stand out, and you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just mentioned it, Brenda, is the fact that with your
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: admission price you get the fair rights. You don't have
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to worry about, you know, purchasing tickets for the rides.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You just get in line and get going.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And right as many times as you want all day long.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So for that admission price, that's the beauty of it
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is fair. And I don't know if many fairs doing
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this type of procedure, but Ogle County does. So with
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that ten dollars admission price, you're going to get to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: be able to ride all the rides you want and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: cram them all in in however long you stay at
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the Ogle County Fair daily. Again, with that ten dollars
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: admission prize, that's great again, and the rides will be
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: running then on Wednesday.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They start every night. The rides are different hours, so
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Wednesday the carnival runs from six to ten. Thursday it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: five to ten. Friday is three to ten, Saturday is
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: noon to ten, and then Sunday is eleven to four. Okay,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: so a great price for a family fun day of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: riding all the rides you want, and we have them
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: for all ages. We have rides for little kids up
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: through adults. We got the big ferris wheel, and teenagers
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: love several of our rides.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And the old County Fair has had this format for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: quite a few years.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, I can't tell you how many. Then it's been
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: around that way for a while.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, it works though in again running that gated mission
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and then all the rides are for free. Once you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: get that gated mission taken care of, then your set
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: for the carnival midway and all the rides for free
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for just that ten dollars. Press. Brenda Holme is our
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: guest today from the Ogle County Fair Board. She's taking
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: us through the Ogle County Fair for twenty twenty five,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: which starts this Wednesday, July the thirtieth, and runs through Sunday,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: August third, in Ogle County, near Oregon. Brenda, let's start
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: talking about day by day activities. Let's start with Wednesday. Now,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you mentioned the carnival that again is featured during that time.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: What else is going on on Wednesday?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Well, every day we also have some on ground shows,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: so they'll start even on Wednesday. We have a Ready
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Go Dog show, we have a rhinestone roper. Those run
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: every day various times, and then we have a chainsaw carver,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: antique tractor parade and queen contests. Really kick off our
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: show on Wednesday. Wednesday, so parade for the anti tractors
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: is at four o'clock and that will be followed by
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: our queen contests that starts around five thirty I believe, Okay,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: maybe five o'clock sorry, And then we also have our
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: four EH show is in conjunction with our fair, so
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: all the four eahers will be there showing their animals
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and projects also all week long. But we have a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: huge vendor village this year, bigger than we've ever had before,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: so we're excited for that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: We have a children's farm, four each children's farm going on,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and then we end our night Wednesday night with the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Aliini Stock and tractor polls at six thirty in our
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: grand stands.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: That's the featured event on Wednesday. Then will be the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: tractor poll which will be on Wednesday in front of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the grand stam Now is that an extra admission?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That is an extra admission. It's fifteen dollars to get

  Speaker 2: into our grandstands, or you can pay twenty dollars to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: get into the pit passes.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, Okay, so it's fifteen dollars for the grand stand admission.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: This is you have to be aware of the fact
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that you'll be paying a ten dollar gated mission, but
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: then the extra admission into the grand stands. So we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: want to make everybody aware of that extra extra cost.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: But it is worth it when you consider the extra
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: entertainment and the price that you're paying. That's not bad,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not at all.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Foreign unders still get into the grandstands free too, just

• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you're guaranteed then to get in if you purchase those
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in advance. Okay, So you run the risk on especially
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: air Saturday Night, which is very popular and we have
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: had in past years. There have been a couple times
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: where we've had to close it because we're passing people,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: but our pit passes are always open that we're not
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: as limited on by code, so our pit passes could
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: get in, but there's a higher cost to that. That's
