Emo Fair Begins Today

It will be a pioneer theme at this year's Rainy River Valley Agricultural Society Fall Fair in Emo.

Organizers are asking people to dress up in period costume and enter the parade.

President Emily Watson says a theme is something they haven't tried for a while.

"It's on again, off again," says Watson. "People, when they want to enter the parade, they ask what's our theme. The last couple of years we've trying to come up with a theme that's consistent throughout the fair."

Tied to the pioneer theme will be an old-time music dance Friday night where patrons will receive dance lessons to better enjoy the music.

The fair opens with the midway at 2:00 p.m. today.

Tonight it will crown a fair queen.
