Thursday night was "bracelet night," where kids got unlimited rides for the price of a bracelet, and visitors found food, games, and an impressive array of rides -- with various thrill degrees -- that even included old-fashioned bumper cars. There's also a sizable kiddie ride area, where the younger children have lots of choices.

The MVFD is raffling off a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Edition, and tickets are available at the fair, which runs through Saturday night on the fire department grounds.
