Grain Valley Fair Brings Festivities to Town Friday and Saturday

The Grain Valley Fair returns this weekend at Armstrong Park with a full slate of activities planned for Friday and Saturday. The Fair opens at 4:00pm Friday with a carnival, vendors, and food trucks, The beer garden opens at 5:00pm, with musical entertainment from bands Crazy Arms (5:30pm) and Misty River Band (8:00pm).

Mike Todd with the Grain Valley Fair Committee said the fair has something for everyone to enjoy.

"We are very excited again this year for our lineup of bands.  Thanks to our sponsors we are able to bring in what we feel is one of the best lineups of any Fair around.  We have also moved some things around, which allowed us to add more vendor spots.  We have around 200 total vendor spots this year, which is up over 30 spots from last year.  Make sure to check out our schedule for all the new kids things we have added such as Mr. Stinky Feet and the High Tops, an exotic petting zoo, and foam party.  We listened to feedback from last year and added those things so families can make a day out of it on Saturday right after the Parade," Todd said.

The Grain Valley Fair Parade will be held Saturday, September 6th at 10:00am. The parade route begins and ends at Grain Valley High School, first heading east on Eagles Parkway to Main, down Main to Walnut, heading west to Kirby, and then returning to the high school. 

Free bingo, hosted by the Grain Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be held at the Grain Valley Community Center starting approximately 11am. The last game will wrap up around 4:00pm. 

Activities on Saturday include a carnival, exotic petting zoo, a performance by the Mr. Stinky Feet Trio at 12:30pm, foam party at 4:00pm, a visit from KC Wolf at 5:00pm, and a full slate of musical and dance performances starting at 2:30pm.
