Local residents and visitors from all over Colorado look forward to this annual event including carnival rides, shows, exhibits, games, 4-H competitions, concerts and classic fair food such as delicious funnels cakes, corn dogs and lemonade.
If you love the outdoors; head over to Barr Lake State Park for the day. Visitors enjoy wildlife, fishing, boating, horse back riding, biking and hiking.
After a long day of outdoor activities, dine at one of the local restaurants such as Pinocchio's Italian Eatery, or Lauer-Krauts; famous for their Kraut Burgers; but be prepared to wait as this place is popular. Other top choices are the River Bottom Pub and La Estrellita's, known for their huge servings and cozy outdoor patio.
