SIDNEY – Another beautiful day at the Shelby County Fair on Thursday was perfect for the annual Kids Day.
This year, Kids Day featured free admission for everyone ages 16 and younger until lunch, $7 special ride bands at Michael’s Amusements, a program at the Free Entertainment Tent and a Kiddie Tractor Pull. Kids Day was sponsored by Buckeye Ford and Edison Community College, along with help from Walmart and Wendy’s.
Kids Day kicked off with a show at noon in the Free Entertainment Tent, featuring Mike Bishop of the Mike Bishop Comedy Hypnosis Show. Bishop put on a show for the kids, delivering both laughs and surprises with his unique blend of comedy and magic skills.
Bishop’s shows featured sleight of hand tricks, storytelling and balloon sculpture. Kids were encouraged to be an active part of the show, with Bishop calling a few up during the show to assist him with his tricks.
Bishop performed to a jam-packed tent, filled with kids of all ages and their parents. The show was full of energy and the audience was very involved.
Immediately following the show, prizes were raffled off to the kids assembled. The entire stage behind Bishop was filled with toys of all kinds, and many children went home with prizes.
