Along with the Grandstand events, attendees can expect to see a variety of live music performances and entertainers all around the fairgrounds, including the unique musical act The Strolling Piano and the incredible criss-crossing flying trapeze troupe The Flying Royals.
There will also be shopping opportunities which highlight local artists and small businesses, interactive animal exhibits, and all of the traditional competitive exhibits, ranging from crafts and fine art to food and garden. The 2023 SBC Fair Livestock will offer all its traditional showing opportunities, with the Jr. Livestock Auction being held both in person and virtually on Saturday, June 3 starting at 10:30 a.m.
“The SBC Fair Board, team and myself always look forward to the annual fair, and this year is no exception,” said SBC Fair CEO Jennifer Morgan. “This is our time to provide entertainment and showcase the future farmers and talents of our community. We’ve worked very hard to bring new and exciting things this year.”
