One of the featured talents, Tommy Breen says this is his first time showcasing at the Tri-County Fair, with plenty of live acts for families.

“It’s a family show, its a free show. With 10 live acts to entertain you, we have sword swallowing, fire eating, a strong woman, human blockhead, everything that is weird and wild, we’ve got it inside the circus tent,” said Breen.

Snow cones and cotton candy are some of the treats you can enjoy at the Tri-County Fair.
