The 145th Annual Rice County Fair officially kicks off Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. with a flag raising ceremony on the grounds in Faribault.  Fair Executive Secretary John Dvorak will stop by KDHL today to give us a preview of this week's fun and educational experiences you can partake in at the Rice County Fair.  There is actually some activity on the fairgrounds today.

A 4-H Cat Show takes place on the Cannon Stage followed by a Pet Show at 4:00 p.m.  A lot of judging took place even last week in preparation for this week's fair.  For example open class foods and food preservation judging is 6:30 p.m. today in the Open Class Building.

Fair organizers are proud of the agricultural roots of Rice County and it shows with the number of barns on the fairgrounds.  This year a new barn was erected on the historical east end of the fairgrounds next to a log cabin that was occupied for a number of years in Rice County.

We will get more details on AM Minnesota at 9:30 a.m.  Remember if you can't tune in at that time the show is always uploaded to our www.kdhlradio.com website by mid-afternoon the day of the program and the best way to access the radio and website content is to download the FREE KDHL app on your favorite mobile device.

Actually downloading on ALL your mobile devices is recommended.  That way you never miss what's happening in the KDHL listening area.
