Fair Fun

Video will be available shortly.

The Dane County Fair is back for its 154th year.

The fair kicked off Tuesday.

Along with the typical fair fun comes some new games and food, like the fried pickle or candybar on a stick.

If fried food isn't your thing, also new this year is an extreme racing game, where you can race against your friends with remote control cars.

The fair's marketing director says they work to change both the food and entertainment every year.

"The Dane County Fair has free stage entertainment every day of the week," says Lisa Behnke, "And that's entertainment you'd have to travel to Disneyland to see or go to the streets of L.A."

Behnke says the work with talent agencies to book the entertainers, who perform free of charge.

Parking is also free, you just have to pay an admission fee.

The Dane County Fair runs through Sunday at the Alliant Energy Center. For more information, log onto www.danecountyfair.com.
