This is the second Good Times In The Pines Festival and this year they have added carnival rides.

There will be music, sports, food, and even fireworks. Festival organizers are happy to bring some fun to the area. President of Portage County Fair Chris Martin says, "I think it brings some new excitement. It brings something else to do and in a neat way we have a great facility here. It is among towering pine trees and is a beautiful setting up on top of a hill."

And if you still don't have a gift for dad..you can bring him to the fair for a free Father's Day pancake breakfast.

The festival begins today and runs throughout the weekend.
