TULELAKE, Calif. - As the unofficial end of summer approaches, the Tulelake Butte Valley Fair marks a vibrant celebration of community and harvest. Friday night, the fairgrounds buzzed with excitement as locals from the neighboring towns streamed in to enjoy the festivities.
Country music star Joe Nichols entertained on the grandstand stage, all while the crisp evening air carried the savory scent of corn dogs and cotton candy, tempting fairgoers to indulge in classic carnival treats. Music and laughter echoed across the midway as families eagerly explored the various rides and games, creating memories that would endure long after summer's warmth had faded away. From the thrilling Zipper to the heart-stopping Freak Out, adrenaline coursed through adventure-seekers' veins.
The fair was also a hub for showcasing the region's agricultural prowess, with vibrant displays of bountiful crops and beautifully groomed livestock. The TBV Fair not only marks the end of summer in the Klamath Basin but serves as a reminder of the tight-knit bonds and shared traditions that connect this vibrant community.
One of our Basin Beat photojournalists attended Friday night to see if he could capture the essence of a night at the fair. Did he capture a photo of you?
