Come one, come all.The Arkansas State Fair has something for everyone and you're invited to join in on all the fun, food, and thrills.
You never know what you'll find at the fair.
Friday KARK 4 Crews spotted a monkey riding a dog and if you head that way there are plenty of exhibits geared toward the animal lovers.
Who say's dogs can't fly?
Don't tell this duo, "Jump" the Ultimate Dog Show started Friday and runs through Monday, October 15th.
The talented k-9's were adopted from shelters.
But if you hope to take a walk on the wild side, swing by the gator show. Don't worry only the trainers enter the dangerous waters with the alligators.
And while pigs are not new to the state fair, the pig races always draw a crowd.
So, if you're looking for a hog wild time these little piggies wont disappoint you.
"Really it's what I look forward to because they're cute, they're babies and it's real fun watching them," explains fair goer, Austin Marotti.
If you want to cheer on an the athletic porkers there's another show Friday at six.
Tuesday, October 16th, the Live Shark Experience is swimming into town for the first time at Arkansas State Fair history.
