2008 Clark County Fair and Rodeo April 10, 11, 12, 13

The Clark County Fair and Rodeo will be held on April 10 – 13, 2008, at the Clark County Fairgrounds in Logandale, Nevada.  Logandale is located approximately 70 miles northeast of Las Vegas. 

This annual event has carnival rides, games, fair vendors, livestock competitions, a world class rodeo, concerts, horticulture, photography, art, and a wide array of food choices.  The headlining concert on Thursday evening will be Emerson Drive. 

The Clark County Fair & Rodeo, formerly named the Moapa Valley Fair, had its beginning back in 1965. The first fair was quite small, yet still had the flavor and elements of a “good old county fair.”  Each year, new attractions have been added, such as the carnival midway, the junior livestock show, and a rodeo.

Away from the Las Vegas Valley, this fun event provides entertainment and activities for the entire family.  The Plaza, Midway, and BBQ stages provide concerts, magic shows, hypnotists, juggling, and dance performances daily.  The cultural exhibits include plants, quilts, handmade clothing, candies, pies, cookies, photographs, pottery, sculptures, paintings, models, and much more.  However, if you prefer live attractions, the reptiles, birds, small rodents, and sheep can be found in the small animal barn while cows, horses, lambs, and goats will be shown in the Livestock Pavilion.  The rodeo has events nightly.

The fair opens daily at 10 am, and stays open until midnight on Friday and Saturday, so there is plenty of time to enjoy all of the other attractions too such as the pig races, carnival rides, carnival games, train rides, children’s areas, community information, and shopping.

The Clark County Fairgrounds can be found by taking I-15 northbound from Las Vegas, and exiting at the Logandale exit, Exit 93.  Take a right and travel 5 miles, make a left on Whipple Avenue, and follow that to the fairgrounds
