Volunteers work to make Farmer City Fair special for kids
FARMER CITY — The Farmer City/DeWitt County Fair still has plenty to offer as it concludes its 2008 run on Saturday night. This year marks the 78th year for the annual event at the Farmer City Fairgrounds on the city's northwest edge.
Friday night is the demolition derby and a band playing contemporary blues and rock 'n' roll music. Saturday opens with a Western horse show and ends with back-to-back dances featuring two classic rock bands.
