FREE ADMISSION TO THE FAIR!
For Kids 10 & under and Big Kids 65+
Happy
Visit HAPPY at the Happy Camper Visit our beloved Western Fair mascot ‘HAPPY’ at the Happy Camper for a must-have photo. HAPPY is a mascot made from bits and pieces of all our happy places. Look for a giant, furry, candy floss pink Muppet-like creature, with corn dog fingers and a candy apple nose. Their big, pink, belly is wrapped in flossy fur like cotton candy on a stick, and it rolls like a bowl full of jelly, full of elephant ears, snow cones, and deep-fried cheese on a stick. Get a big pink HAPPY hug, with arms so long and warm you will never forget their embrace.
There's something for everyone, from taking in the view at the top of the Giant Wheel to pushing your limits on the Mach 3. The midway is filled with bright lights and offers many wonderful photo opportunities.
