Grandstand Seating Layout:
The grandstand, which was brand new in 2002, has 4,000 seats with backs. Some of the seats are sheltered but the majority are not. There are two grass areas on the berm of the grandstand to sit as well. Handicapped seating is available in the grandstand in designated areas that also provide a chair for a companion. In addition, there is a granite area between the stage where people can bring in their own lawn chairs or stand. In 2005, there will be a reserved section of 500 metal folding chairs that will be referred to as VIP seating that will be located on the granite area closest to the stage. If you are interested in VIP seating, please refer to the section below for pricing information. Otherwise, all other seats are free with your paid admission to the fair.

There are two ways to see the show:
1. General Seating or
2. VIP seating.

General Seating:
Gates for seating for the grandstand shows open at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. There will be two lines on the east side of the grandstand and two lines on the west side of the grandstand for a total of four lines. On each side there will be signs stating where to stand in line for which entrance. One entrance will be for lawn chair seating. One entrance will be handicapped entrance and grandstand seating. Handicapped persons have the option of being let into the grandstand 15 minutes prior to the gate opening time. Announcements will be made to those waiting in line.

Each person is allowed to bring in two lawn chairs only. You may save your seat and one other in the grandstand. Although not recommend, you may leave your seat unattended. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
