The free preview night is not a new offering, says fair spokeswoman Terri Schwenk. It's been a way for fair organizers to share the annual fair's new offerings with regular visitors."They get to see what they should come back for," Schwenk says of the preview night. "See what's new and exciting."Schwenk says everything will be operational when the gates open at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Rides will start at 5 o'clock. Opening ceremonies begin at 5:15.
Take advantage of other frugalista opportunities by visiting the fair during Weekdays under the Wire promotions: noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
