The Delaware State Fair in Harrington certainly has no shortage of fun – or food.

The event, which started July 17 and runs through Saturday, July 26, is jam-packed with carnival rides, games, music, vendors, livestock and other animals, and entertainment of all kinds. 

Some of the many events include circus performances, corgi and pig races, livestock auctions, cattle shows, harness racing, a demolition derby, tractor pulls and a variety of competitions and educational workshops for kids.
