3 things to do at the Clark County Fair today

Looking for something to do this evening?

Here are some of the top events happening at the Clark County Fair today:

•6:30 p.m.: Dish of the Day. Clark County residents compete to see who can come up with the best recipe using pork and a second category dubbed "A Taste of the Unexpected." And the best part? After the judging, audience members can try samples of the dishes. But they go fast, so get there early! Contest is held in the Arts & Crafts Building.

•7 p.m.: HOT 102.9 Local Talent Showcase Series. A new offering at the fair brings together pre-screened candidates who will display their rap and hip-hop skills for judges. The Clark County Fair wanted to add something different this year, organizers said, and attract fans of different kinds of music. >>MORE DETAILS: Homegrown, national talents take the stage at Clark County Fair
