Garfield County Fair gets under way late today as contestants bring their entries of everything from flower arrangements to livestock for the four-day event.
Judging gets under way Thursday, and commercial booths will open at Chisholm Trail Expo Center at noon. Also, Wagner Carnival will open on the midway.
On Friday, events begin with swine judging. Other highlights of the day include a pie-baking contest.
On Saturday, the livestock judging will begin with beef, followed by the sheep and goat shows. The horse show follows at 9 a.m.
Contests for the day include a bubble gum blowing contest, Oklahoma WheatHeart bread baking contest and an ice cream contest. Frog and turtle races are scheduled for the evening.
The Farmer for a Day exhibit will be available throughout the fair Thursday through Saturday. The popular exhibit allows children to see live animals, milk a pretend cow and learn about farming.
