(August 20, 2008)--The 21st Annual Central Texas State Fair will be held in Belton over the Labor Day weekend.

Admission is just a couple of dollars and the fair offers events for visitors of all ages.

Livestock shows, a demolition derby and a hypnotist are just a few of this year's attractions.

Some of the world's best bull riders will also be on hand, as the fair is a major stop on the way to the national finals rodeo.

"They can see some of these guys that they watch on TV,” Eight-Time World Bull Riding Champion Donnie Gay said.

“They'll be able to come right down to the rail, visit with these guys, get an autograph and see some top flight bull riding."

The Central Texas State Fair begins Friday evening Aug. 29 and runs through Sunday Aug. 31 at the Bell County Expo Center.
