Benton County Fair & Rodeo

A county fair wouldn’t be complete without the competition pies, quilts, paintings, flowers, and vegetables. Every year at the Benton County Fair, the community’s gardeners, bakers and artisans of all ages come together to share their talents with our fairgoers.

AUGUST 4TH: FIRST FRIDAY—THEME is Carnival!

A few games will be set up in the party room. Let’s have fun and dress up! They will be serving Cotton Candy that night out of the Café (it will be pre-bagged) and hopefully, Party Perfection will have a few clowns on hand. Sign up for this super fun night!

On the 1st Friday of every month, the carousel is open from 5:30-8:00 p.m., and for just $5 per person, you get UNLIMITED CAROUSEL RIDES, plus a fun activity or craft for the family, along with gift shop specials and a great deal on a tasty treat at the Carousel Café!

Pets and Pajamas is a fun and easy way to get your kids involved with SafeHaven Humane Society, and have a little time for yourselves too. Each night includes pizza, popcorn, a little soda, time spent with our wonderful adoptable animals, and a movie. Kids are welcome to bring a blanket (some will be provided) and a pillow from home if they’d like, though we do ask that toys stay home. Kids will also need to wear closed-toe shoes for animal time. We ask that light-up shoes stay home as they are just too tempting to play with during the movie. Movies will vary from month to month. Titles are available upon request. This is a drop-off event. All adults participating in movie nights are current volunteers or staff who have passed a background check. If your child needs accommodations that require an adult to stay with them during the event, please let us know before registering so that can try to make the necessary adjustments. Space is limited so early registration is encouraged.

SHOWTIMES
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

MOVIE TICKET
$15

Registration fees are nonrefundable. Unused registration fees may be applied to other humane education programs during the same calendar year or be considered a donation. To be considered unused, you must notify SafeHaven that you cannot attend at least 7 days before the event date, so we have time to reopen your space(s).
