Today marks the start of a Thanksgiving weekend tradition that’s been going strong since 1850.
The 176th anniversary of the Brigden Fair kicks off today with a theme of “Thru the Fair Gate.”
The four day event includes a parade on Saturday, daily agricultural exhibits and midway rides, as well as lumberjack shows, helicopter rides, and live entertainment.
This year there is a new entrance to the fairgrounds on Courtright Line.
