The Denver County Fair is coming this week from today through Sunday! Check out all the details on their website:
Denver County Fair will honor the fine traditions and values of America’s county fairs, which have been enjoyed by millions of people for over 100 years.
But, we are NEW. Although land was bought for a Denver Fair in the 1800s, that plan was interrupted by a little thing called the “Civil War” and no fair was ever launched. (That land is now City Park, by the way.) Somehow, the idea never came to fruition until NOW – in the 21st century, when Denver is a modern, bustling metropolis, forging a reputation as “the new creative capitol.”
… So, expect us to do things differently than the fairs that were established last century, or the century before. We are new, we are urban and we are still pioneers!
