Opening day of the Tioga County Fair on Tuesday was jam packed with action as the rides opened in the afternoon, and then the Dash for Cash event entertained guests and brought horse lovers together for some competition. But the entertainment was cut short at about 8:45 p.m. when storms blew through the area.<\/p>\n

But there is no need to worry, as the fair continues through Saturday, offering three nights of demo derby action, live entertainment, 4-H shows, crafts and wares, with Midway and carnival flair.<\/p>\n

And the threat of a shower or two didn\u2019t stop fairgoers from checking into the Tioga County Fair on Tuesday to enjoy the many attractions and features offered for one gate admission price of $10.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s fair features Gillette Shows for the carnival. Rides opened on Tuesday at 5 p.m. The admission to this year\u2019s fair is an all-inclusive gate fee of $10, which includes rides, grandstand, shows and attractions.

Gillette Shows, the new ride company for this year\u2019s fair, had things set up and running in time for those taking advantage of the \u201cpay one price\u201d gate fee. With close to a dozen rides set up, organizers were pleased to see the turnout tonight, and looked at the rides lit up, noting that it looked like the fair again.<\/p>\n

For the board members, the all-inclusive price was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make the fair affordable for everyone, and we want to bring the community back to the fair,\u201d said Jonathan Marks, Fair Board president.<\/p>\n

Andy Fagan, director of Cornell Cooperative Extension in Tioga and Chemung Counties, was at the fair earlier in the day and emphasized the efforts of 4-H as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fair is about the animals and exhibits,\u201d said Fagan, adding, \u201cThese kids work hard all year long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus Milner, Town of Tioga resident that arrived at the fair with his children, Marilyn, Damon and Mitchell, came early, but planned to return at 5 p.m. on Tuesday when the rides opened.<\/p>\n

The Moose Lodge and the 4-H Food and Dairy Bar were cooking up food throughout opening day, and the concessions had arrived and were open.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Tioga County Fair Board President, Jonathan Marks, center, cut a ribbon to celebrate the opening of this year\u2019s Tioga County Fair. Surrounding Marks are representatives from Tioga Tourism, the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce, the Tioga County Legislature, Senator Fred Akshar (on the right of Marks), Cornell Cooperative Extension Director Andy Fagan (on the left), and other fair board representatives.

Also, earlier in the day on Tuesday, Marks gathered with dignitaries and members of the media to cut a ribbon, officiating the opening of this year\u2019s fair.<\/p>\n

Senator Fred Akshar, who attended the event, wanted to show his support for agriculture in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here supporting the fair,\u201d said Senator Akshar, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s only ten dollars to get in, so come on down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tomorrow evening will feature the demolition derby, and the gate admission remains at $10, which includes the derby, and the rides will open at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n
