It's parade day for The Inter-State Fair and Rodeo.

 

This year's theme for the parade is “Luau” and will start one hour later than normal at 5 p.m. in downtown Coffeyville.

 

Several livestock events will take place today with the rabbit show at 8 a.m., the sheep show at 9, poultry show at 1 and goat show at 4.

 

Chandler Pippin from Independence is showing a pig and a steer this year through 4-H and says it's a lot of work.

 

Cooper Newby from Altamont is showing sheep through the Midwest Ranchers 4-H Club and says he hopes to qualify for the premium sale.

After this afternoon's parade, the bean and watermelon feed will be at 5:30 followed by the first night of PRCA Rodeo. The carnival will also be open tonight from 6 to 11. It all happens at the fairgrounds in Coffeyville.
