This year, we've added over 1,300 extra parking spaces on the grounds, and you can enjoy a complimentary trolley ride courtesy of the City of Alexandria. The construction of the Dewitt Livestock Barn will be completed in time for this year's fair, allowing families to visit and see all the animals. Be sure to check out the Barnyard Nursery, an excellent spot for the little ones. (This is will also be open on Sunday). We will also have a covered platform so our local church, dance groups etc. can display their talents. Additionally, we invite you to relax at the "Rest and Relaxation Tent" sponsored by Y-Not Stop (the official fuel stop for the Rapides Fair), located on Hwy 71 South next to the State Evacuation Shelter, at 8149 Hwy 71 South, just beyond the LSU-A campus.
