June. 9—JEFFERSON — Step right up! The Ashtabula County Fair is back in town for the 176th year.
The fair runs today through Sunday with shows and events happening all day every day.
A youth parade and crowning of fair royalty kicked off the festivities Monday evening in front of the grandstand — an event usually held on Tuesday, the first day of the fair.
Scheduling issues pushed the parade and crowning a day early in order to offer fairgoers two demolition derbies, two country music concerts, a motorcycle circus and truck and tractor pulls.
