MORRISONVILLE — North Country residents can get their annual dose of family friendly fun at the Clinton County Fairgrounds next week as the fair is back for six full days.
Set for Monday through July 12, the 77th annual Clinton County Fair will soon light up the night sky with its iconic and colorful midway, featuring amusement rides and games for all ages and a variety of crave-worthy carnival concessions.
Additionally, the contemporary country music hitmakers Parmalee take the Glenn Gillespie Stage on Friday with their acclaimed melodies and energy-infused guitar licks. Rising star Thomas Mac will open for the group.
Other grandstand entertainment includes the Lucky E Rodeo on Monday, a cornhole tournament Tuesday, the New York State Tractor Pullers Association on Wednesday and the Della Auto Group Demolition Derby on July 12.
Throughout the week, the fairgrounds will also host daily performances of the popular children’s shows “Pipsqueak’s Party Time Clown Show” and “Buffalo Barfield,” both longtime fair favorites. A few mischievous marine mammals will also be on hand making daily waves as part of the “Sea Lion Splash” show, and wagon rides will be provided by Country Dreams Farm.
As always, the fair will feature a robust agricultural component, with a variety of 4-H livestock exhibits, agricultural displays and demonstrations and educational contests.

A special rate of $5 for individuals age 4 and older will be offered Monday. The reduced rate will be offered to all veterans with ID on Tuesday and to senior citizens age 62 and older Thursday. A season pass for fairgrounds admission can be purchased for $35.
