The Saline Fair will be back, September 1, after being forced to skip a year due to the Coronavirus. The eighty-fifth fair will bring back a lot of the classics people remember, as well as a few new attractions.

“The Comedy Farm Magic Review is new. It deals with agriculture. It takes place three times each day, Wednesday. The rest of the week, it’s at 12:30 and 6:30,” Saline Fair President Nancy Thelen said. “We also [will have] the Brick Town Lego display by Justin Pankey in building D. That’s a big Lego display that is all put together and I believe it is going to be a country scene.”
