COLUSA, Calif. — For the 80th year celebration of the Colusa County Fair, the event will feature new children's attractions and local musicians.
Araceli Plaza, an event coordinator with the fair, said that the fair will continue to try different things to keep the county and visitors entertained.
"We try to bring something different that people haven't seen at the fair," Plaza said.
Plaza also said that the event will continue traditions like the Diaper Derby, Bartender Battle, Mr. Cinderfella Pageant, and Weber BBQ Cook-Off.
What’s new at the fair?
This year, Plaza said they will have new children's programs including Water Wars, Circus Imagination, and the Alaskan Pig Races.
"It's all about giving the kids something to do and enjoy," Plaza said.
Each of these programs provides an interactive format for kids to have fun at the fair.
Plaza said that the fair will also have performances from Kaylee Starr and Kimmy and the Diamondbacks, who are new to the fair but not new to Colusa County.
Plaza said that these bands are both from the area.
