SIDNEY — The 158th Shelby County Fair is going to be an exciting one. Fair visitors will be able to see several shows throughout the week, including local bands, as well as other shows and performances.

New to the fair this year is a show called Dino Roar. This educational, interactive segment will take place at 5, 7, and 9 p.m. each night, at locations still to be determined.

According to Jerry Schaffner, fair director, the Dino Roar Show is curated by a husband and wife duo from southern Ohio.

The pair will teach audience members about the era of dinosaurs, and the show will also include an appearance from a real-life dinosaur.

The free entertainment tent will be the place to be each evening, Tuesday through Saturday, as special performers have been booked for the fair.

“We’re still going to have the King and Queen Contest in there on Sunday night, the Veteran’s Day on Monday, (and) Senior Citizens and Kids Day, but after those are over, Tuesday through Saturday, the entertainment tent will (feature) bands that will play longer and there will be beer for sale,” Schaffner said.

This is the second year that beer will be available during the Shelby County Fair, with last year serving as a trial year.

“It was kind of a sample, where we just had three nights of (beer sales),” Schaffner said.

This year, beer will be available every night, except Sunday, in the entertainment tent, beginning at 4 p.m., and each night without exception in the grandstand.

On Tuesday, July 24, Flashback the band will be performing in the entertainment tent from 7 to 10 p.m.

On Wednesday, July 25, the entertainment tent will feature a DJ, with dancing, trivia, and prizes at 8 p.m.

The band Shelby County Line will perform from 7 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 26, and Karma’s Pawn will take the stage during the same time slot on Friday, July 27. Saturday will feature the band Haywired.

On Sunday, July 22, the Guitar Kids will have a show at the Gazebo. Tim Musser, a music instructor, is bringing several local kids with him to perform.
