 One Big Fair |
9755 Henderson Road (Adam County Fairgrounds) Denver, CO 80601 United States +1 303 637 8000 http://www.adamscountyfair.com |
This fair claims to be the largest and most exciting county fair in Colorado, and with good reason. In the past, it has attracted top name performers such as Meg Tillis and Alan Jackson. There are also bucking broncos at the rodeos, livestock shows, the ever-popular 4-H events and booming tractor pulls. If you bring the kids, check out the children's pavilion which includes a petting zoo. A unique aspect of the county fair is the strong multicultural element to the festivities, including a Latino music festival and a Charro rodeo. Review © 2007, Wcities |
