There was plenty for families to enjoy at this year’s opening night of the Polk County Fair, from honoring pageant winners to those getting ready for this evening’s livestock competition.
The fairgrounds opened on Wednesday, September 6 for the 2023 Polk County Fair to the fanfare of bright lights on rides and the shouts of carnival barkers. The perfect scene for families bringing their kids out for Polk School District night since many kids went home with smiles on their faces and carrying their prizes away with stuffed animals.
Here’s a few shots from Wednesday’s fun:
