A day at the fair on a hot summer afternoon is an experience most people carry with them from their childhood -- sticky cotton candy, hot dogs, rides on the Ferris wheel and a look around the exhibits of home-grown vegetables or tasty-looking cookies. These memories of a good old-fashioned country fair can be revisited at the Bishop Tri-County Fair over the Labor Day holiday weekend, August 29th - September 1st. For Inyo, Mono & Alpine County Residents, it's an annual treat to visit the fair, but for anyone from out of town, it can be a trip down memory lane.

Once people have paid the fair admission, most of the entertainment is provided free. "There are free concerts every day, a free circus, free petting zoo, discovering science exhibit, and more. We're real lucky to have a lot of community support as far as sponsors go, so we can bring in such fantastic entertainment."
