Airnastics (Every Day)
A fair just isn’t a fair without amusement rides! This year we are thrilled to offer the great fun for all ages provided by carnival producer Airnastics!
Kid Fiddlers (Before the Rodeo)
Since 2001, The Kid Fiddlers have been amazing audiences around the world! Combining mastery of over a Dozen Instruments, Impeccable Vocal Harmonies, Fantastic Clogging and Charming Humor, this family friendly show is suitable for all ages!

Comedy Hypnosis Show (Saturday)
You’ll be rock’in with laughter as Aaron Black, comedy hypnotist. Black puts volunteers from the audience into a light hypnotic trance where they respond to comical suggestions. Black said “While hypnotized, ordinary people think they can speak Russian or they’ve become Britney Spears or another celebrity.” He has traveled as many as 18,000 miles in 3 weeks with shows everywhere from Washington to New York.
Century Russel, Strolling Magician (Saturday)
A 20-year magic performer, Russell has entertained for corporate clients such as American Express, been on television shows including Touched by an Angel, and was the first performer to be licensed to perform on the streets of Salt Lake City. Now he brings to the fair classic and contemporary magic illusions, and dozens of his original tricks, all stamped with his distinctive mix of comedy and illusion.

Komen for he Cure® is pleased to announce it will partner with the Garfield County Fair, CPRA Rodeo and Wrangler’s “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” series to hold a special breast cancer fundraising event on Thursday, August 6th at the Garfield County Fairgrounds in Rifle, Colorado.
