What’s your Hamburg Fair preference? Do you gravitate toward the carnival rides? Or do you like to check out the animal exhibits? Or maybe the concerts are more to your liking?

Doesn’t matter what you are drawn to, because the fair is once again offering up all those popular activities. Oh, and there are, of course, competitions, including the haybale contest and the beard and mustache contest.

Parents, take notice: From noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, kids can dive into the array of youthful fun in the arena, from slime making to water balloons to a pie-eating contest.
