It's fair time

Thank goodness the fair's here. We really needed the rain.

The Southeast Missouri District Fair starts today. Traditionally the annual event brings a few days of wet weather.

It also means several days of fun. Grandstand activities include a hot-rod truck and tractor pull tonight, a horse show Sunday afternoon, a dual demolition derby Tuesday night, the Heartland Idol finals Wednesday, a Blake Shelton concert Thursday, an REO Speedwagon concert Friday and a Pat Green concert Saturday.

The fair is always a huge draw for Cape Girardeau. We'll see you there.
