(Friday’s events ran yesterday.)

Saturday, Aug. 27 marks the last day of the 2016 Chelsea Community Fair, and the fair board saves the best for last — the fair parade, which begins at 1 p.m. following the Run For The Rolls.

Gates open at 10 a.m. and rides begin at 1 p.m. Plus, it’s your last chance to roam through the Merchant Barn and the Nature’s Creation of Life barn, see all the livestock and the amazing creative efforts of local folks in the Green exhibit barn.

It’s fun day in the horse arena and you can root on all the best showman from all the species when sweepstakes showmanship takes place at 7 p.m. in the Multipurpose Arena.

At 7:30 p.m., the 4-wheel and 2-wheel drive pulling and diesel pulling contest takes place in the Main Arena.

Don’t forget, if you entered exhibits in the Green Barn, entries should be picked up between 9-11 a.m. on Sunday.
