FORT PAYNE, Ala.—The 2016 DeKalb County VFW Spring Fling fair is in town this week. The fair will run from April 26  through April 30 and gates will open at 5 p.m. each night. .

Admission to the fair is $1 for everyone ages 6 and up. April 26 through April 28 will be $12 armband nights, then April 29 and April 30 will be $15 armband nights. For those who are not interested in the “all you can ride” armband packages, there will also be individual ride tickets available as well for $1.25 a piece. Gates will open at 5 p.m. each night.

The primary difference between the Spring Fling fair and the traditional fall VFW Agricultural fair is that the Spring Fling fair is solely for rides and entertainment. There are no agricultural competitions or other competitions where ribbons are given out to winners. The DeKalb County VFW Spring Fling fair is all about the carnival, games, rides and having a good time for the entire family.

The event is hosted by DeKalb County VFW Post 3128.
