MARSHALL CO. — The carnival is back.
Marshall County 4-H Fair Board President Ron Rensberger said that after not having a carnival at the fair last year, the board has decided to bring it back for this year’s fair.
“People wanted the carnival, but they wanted a good carnival — something that looks good and is safe,” said Rensberger, adding, “That’s what we all want.”
The carnival that used to be at the fair is now unavailable because of cost and scheduling changes, said Rensberger. A new carnival called Circus City Amusements will be entertaining fairgoers.
