Delaware County Fair Kicks Off Today in Manchester

It’s fair week in Manchester!

The Delaware County Fair kicks off today. 4-H and FFA exhibitors are getting their projects judged today in the pavilion – everything from food and photography to furniture and restored tractors. And there are several shows going on today too, with the Dog Show at 9:30 am, the Horse Show at noon, the Pen of Three Show at 4 pm and the Cow & Calf Show at 7 pm. 

Today is mostly a set-up day for everyone else at the fair, though the local food stands are open – including the Steer ‘n Stein, First Lutheran Stand and the 4-H Foodstand. And with free admission today only, it’s a great opportunity to get into the fair and check it out.

Fair Manager Jeannie Domeyer says they’ve got some free activities for everyone tonight starting at 5 pm. 

The fairgrounds are a great place to watch tonight’s fair parade, which will take its usual route through Manchester starting at 6 pm.

That’s Manchester Fire Chief Mike Ryan, who says everyone is welcome to be in tonight’s fair parade, with line-up starting at 4:30 pm.

This year’s Delaware County Fair and fair parade have the theme of “All American Fun”. Along with the floats, tractors and walkers, look for the Manchester firefighters who will be walking the parade route with their boots, collecting donations for the MDA.

KMCH’s Justin Roberts, Janelle Tucker and Eric Walker will be in tonight’s parade – and we’ll be at the fair all week. Tune in for our live broadcasts Tuesday through Saturday, Meet the Champions and news interviews. We’ll also be partnering with Delaware County Extension to video stream all the 4-H and FFA livestock shows this year. And we’re looking forward to welcoming you to the grandstand concerts on Thursday and Friday nights – with chances to win tickets to REO Speedwagon today and Carly Pearce tomorrow right here on KMCH.
