(AP) – Arkansas State Fair officials have announced that the
fair will expand, open a day earlier and have a new carnival operator in 2017.
The fair will run for 11 days, from Oct. 12-22, an increase from 10 days in
previous years and will open on a Thursday instead of the traditional Friday
opening.
Fair general manager Ralph Shoptaw told reporters that the change has been
considered for several years and the fair’s executive committee decided the time
is right to expand by a day.
The fair also says North American Midway Entertainment of Farmland, Indiana,
will be the new carnival operator.
