The 2019 Fair took place August 22 \u2013 September 2 at the\nfairgrounds in Palmer, where fairgoers for the most part enjoyed unseasonably\nwarm, dry weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fair saw\nincreases in both AT&amp;T Concert Series ticket sales, as well as attendance. Ticket\nsales at the ConocoPhillips Borealis Theatre were up 6.8 percent, driven by popular\nconcerts such as Dustin Lynch, who drew more than 5,200 concert-goers, as well\nas near sell-outs for Shinedown and Cole Swindell performances. Meanwhile, total estimated attendance\nfor 2019 was 303,989, a&nbsp;2.8 percent increase over last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That success\nextended to other Fair events; there wasn\u2019t an open seat in the BP Grandstand\nat the sold-out Demolition Derby and all three All Star Monster Trucks shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over in Farm\nExhibits, the 4-H Junior Market Livestock Auction set yet another record, raising\n$257,000 from the sale of 76 animals this year \u2013 up $33,000 from last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New records\nextended to the crops department, which saw 10 new state records set in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alaskastatefair.org\/site\/2019-results\/crops-department-1st-entry-2019-new-state-records\/\">first<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alaskastatefair.org\/site\/2019-results\/crops-department-2nd-entry-2019-new-state-records\/\">second entries<\/a>, including melon, garlic, quinoa,\nsunflower, ginseng, hot pepper and pumpkin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a lot of\nexcitement at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alaskastatefair.org\/site\/2019-results\/14th-annual-alaskas-midnight-sun-great-pumpkin-weigh-off-2019\/\">14<sup>th<\/sup> annual Alaska\u2019s Midnight\nSun Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off<\/a>,\nwith Dale Marshall taking first place with a state-record-breaking 2,051-pound\npumpkin, and second place going to junior grower Thomas Whitmire and his\n280-pound entry.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there were\nno new records set in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alaskastatefair.org\/site\/2019-results\/24th-annual-giant-cabbage-weigh-off-2019\/\">24<sup>th<\/sup> annual Giant Cabbage\nWeigh-Off<\/a>, this year\u2019s\nentries were still impressive, with first place going to Walter Chastain of\nWasilla for his 77.5-pound cabbage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA big thank you for another great year.
