• The Pork Chop Revue featuring Oink the Singing Pig — Oink may be the featured attraction, but the rest of this pack of pigs is just as entertaining. “Cousin Grumpy” also gets this group of very smart swine to dance, leap hurdles, roll barrels and perform other tricks. The event is located in Riley Fun Park and is shown three times daily.
• “Giants of the Prairie” Rare Historic Tractor Display — Three extremely rare tractors will be on display for the duration of the fair.
