A week of attractions set for the fair

A St. Joseph County tradition that started in the mid 1800s continues next week, as the St. Joseph County Grange Fair begins Sunday.
The opening-day grandstand attraction is farm truck pulls, which starts at 4 p.m.
Other highlights include traditional favorites such as the Miracle of Birth Tent, free music, and, of course, food, rides and midway games.
Fair manager Bill Johnson said this year’s fair features 25 rides and more than 100 food stands.
Gate price for fair admission is $6 for adults, children 14 and under are free.
The gate opens Sunday at 8 a.m., commercial barns open at 10 a.m.
