Spencer, IA--Clay County Fair advance gate tickets are available for purchase.

The fair booster tickets will be sold individually for $6.00 each – 25 percent savings from the regular daytime gate admission price for adults.

Jeremy Parsons, Clay County Fair Manager said he expects 2012 to be an excellent
year for advance tickets sales because of the great lineup of entertainers and
activities for this year’s fair.

“People will want to purchase the advance tickets this year, especially if they
plan to attend the various concerts and events. The fair advance tickets
represent a substantial savings for fair-goers, “Parsons said. “I encourage people to
buy advance sale tickets.”

Individuals and businesses may take advantage of the savings by purchasing
their tickets from fair advance ticket locations or a fair advance sales
representative prior to 5 PM (or earlier as alot of the area locations will have the
tickets picked up before 5 PM so they may be back to Spencer by then) Friday,
September 7th. The Clay County Fair ticket office will sell booster tickets until 9
PM on Friday, September 7, 2012.

More than 60 individuals and businesses are working in cooperation with the Clay
