It's hard to believe another year has passed so quickly and The Great Rice County Fair is once again upon us. Mother Nature certainly cooperated and graced us with a beautiful sunshine-filled day for the official start of the fair. The gates opened at 5PM and there was a very nice rendition of the Star Spangled Banner to usher in this fun festival. In the Grandstand it was a Night of Carnage Races and on the Midway Stage, near the Power 96 booth, was the Rice County Fair Queen Coronation hosted by our very own Sports Director Gordy Kosfeld.

Make sure you stop by the Power Patio and get registered for tons of prizes that we'll draw for on Monday morning after the fair. We're giving away Minnesota Zoo tickets, Moose Mountain Adventure Golf passes, Nickelodeon Universe Unlimited Ride Armbands, Minnesota Vikings tickets, Minnesota Twins tickets, or our grand prize of a one-night stay at the Radisson Blu Mall of America. The only way you can win is to stop by our booth and get registered at the Rice County Fair... We'll see you there!
