Rodeo, Battle of the Bands at Hillsborough County Fair Today (Oct. 19)
Day 3 at the Hillsborough County Fair kicks off at noon Oct 19 at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds, just east of Brandon off State Road 60 on Sydney Washer Road in Dover.
Hillsborough County students have a day off from school today, Oct. 19, which is reason enough for the 2012 Hillsborough County Fair to offer student-ride specials at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds in Dover.
Also on tap today, among the regularly featured events, is a Battle of the Bands competition and a rodeo show, for which a rodeo ticket is required. The Desert Moon band is set to perform.
