AURORA | The Arapahoe County fair is this weekend and one $25 ticket gets you through the gates and into a day packed with entertainment.

The 119th Annual Arapahoe County Fair is Thursday through Sunday with events that showcase the County’s agricultural and Western heritage through 4-H programming, traditional farming and educational activities, along with entertainment for the whole family, according to a statement from the county.
Tickets cost $25 and kids shorter than 36 inches get in free.
The tickets include parking, unlimited carnival rides, CPRA rodeos, fireworks, live entertainment, NSPA truck and tractor pulls, Canine Stars Stunt Dog Show, mutton bustin’, public competitions, petting farm, 4-H livestock shows and Kids Corral, according to the statement.
Food and beverages are not included in the ticket price and will be available for purchase and vendors are located throughout the Fairgrounds.
“Each year brings something new and exciting to the fair,” Summey said in a statement.
This year, that includes a silent disco, Gel Blasters which is like paintball but for younger kids, Polynesian Fire Dancers, BMX Showcase, ax-throwing and a trampoline show.
