It's Almost Time! 2014 Dixon May Fair in Less than 48 Hours!

The Dixon May Fair, which was first held in 1876, will open the gates on Thursday for the 139th time, with all the fabulous Fair Food you can imagine! 

Still in the heart of the Delta's agricultural belt, the Fair offers a showcase of the community with local and regional music, livestock shows, exhibits of quilts, jams, and Grandma's cookie jar.  

Grandstand entertainment includes Professional Bull Riding and Hot Rod Tractor Pulls, both sports that originated in agriculture. 

While tradition is apparent, the Fair is keeping up with the 21st Century and hosts a Wine Pavilion and amateur winemaking competition and exhibits of digital photography.  

Students have created fabulous dresses out of recycled grocery bags and duct tape in the same building as the taxidermy exhibits. 

A Classic Car Show spans the early days of hot rods and touring cars with a classic car show and rock n' roll music on Saturday.

In addition to live music on throughout, there is a free Kids Zone, a train ride, strolling entertainers such as Flo, everyone's best girlfriend, and The Procrastinators who turn household items into amazing percussion instruments.

The Extreme K9s dog show features man's best friend performing amazing athletic stunts. 

 "Best of Show!" was chosen as the 2014 theme to highlight the talents of the community who bring their best projects, art, preserves, needlework, garden produce and livestock all hoping to win the coveted blue ribbon. 

The Fair is traditionally held over Mother's Day weekend and over 2,000 roses will be handed out on Sunday. 

Special Days include $5 Thrifty Thursday, Kids Day on Friday, A Canned Food Drive on Friday allows $2 off adult general admission for 2 cans of food from 3-5:00 pm.
