Emma, a longtime fairgoer and livestock competitor, said she has been attending the fair for about a decade.

Fellow competitor Brayan is showing a Longhorn this year after previously competing with poultry and dogs in 4-H.
"This is my Longhorn Shockey, and I'll be showing him at the Twin Falls County Fair today," Brayan said.
Brayan said the Longhorns may look intimidating, but the experience has been a highlight.
"I mean, they look dangerous, but they are actually just big babies... they're definitely a lot of fun to work with, and I would say it's a lot more fun than any of the other 4H animals I've shown," Brayan said.
Beyond the livestock competitions, the fair's schedule includes four days of rodeo action inside Shouse Arena, live music on Sunday and monster trucks on Labor Day.
For those without tickets to arena events, the fair also offers free entertainment, including pig races, model railroads and a petting zoo.
