(WMOK) Metropolis, IL – Tammie Wiseman Obermark joined us at WMOK this week to give us to the details surrounding the Massac County Youth Fair which begins today at the Massac County Fairgrounds. The Massac County Fairgrounds are located on Korte Road in Massac County – between Massac High School and North Avenue.
Sew It, Grow It Show It
The fun will begin with the 35th Annual Toy Show on Friday Evening (5:30-8:30). The Toy Show will continue on Saturday (9a-1:30p) The Toy Show includes vendors of antique toys – many farm related from around the region. Obermark said there are new toys as well as materials for the hobby.
The Pedal Tractor Pull for ages 12 and under will take place on Saturday. Participants should be onsite by 12:30pm on Saturday to register.
Also on Saturday the Tractor Show will take place – a new Car Show has been added to the event this year as well. This portion of the event will take place from 9a – 2p. There will be a Peoples’ Choice Award. The tractors will be on display Saturday and Sunday. A tractor parade will take place in Metropolis on Saturday – beginning from the fairgrounds at approximately 6pm. On Sunday a tractor parade is held on the grounds.
The Horse Show will take place on Saturday evening beginning at 6pm.
Obermark advised that Sunday is a bit of a slow day – however it’s a great day to come out for a Ribeye Sandwich from the Illinois Beef Producers and look at the tractors.
