SIDNEY, Ohio (WLIO) – The Shelby County Fair has kicked off for another year in Sidney, celebrating its 165th anniversary. The fair runs through Saturday, July 26.
Tuesday is Senior Citizens Day, with free admission offered to senior citizens. Thursday is Kids Day, featuring activities like COSI and the Kiddie Tractor Pull. The fair wraps up Saturday with the popular demolition derby.
Monday was Veterans Day at the fair, with free admission for all veterans and their spouses. The Miami Valley Veterans Museum says the recognition has a meaningful impact on those who have served.
“Definitely has an impact. I see a lot of veterans connecting with services that they would not have realized that they were afforded before because the Shelby County services are here talking about all the different bonuses that veterans can get for their service because we appreciate our veterans. We all love veterans,” says Amy Cost, Executive Director, Miami Valley Veterans Museum.
General admission is $15. Free parking is available at Sidney High School and Emerson School, with a shuttle service provided.
