Delaware State Fair opens for annual 10-day fest
The Delaware State Fair grounds opened to the public today for this year’s 10-day run. It will be active from July 18 through 27, and it’s the annual event’s 104th year.
The fair’s schedule this year includes the usual concerts, demolition derby, and harness racing for Governor’s Day on Thursday. There will also be a pig-kissing contest, and marketing manager Carly Callahan said to look out for the Chickin’ Pickin’ contest.
“The Delaware State Fair is built on the basis of agriculture and livestock,” Callahan said. “That’s where it all started.”
Livestock shows are lined up all week long as well, including cattle shows.
Jacey Wiley is attending the fair with her family to show her cow, Boone. Wiley said he’s 1200 pounds and enjoying his time under a few fans during his first day on the grounds.
Temperatures hovered in the mid-80’s for the first day and will remain about the same through the next week.
“On Tuesday, he’ll have a show,” Wiley said. “We’ll bring them in the ring, and we’ll go around a couple times, and the judge will kind of pull different ones that he sees and likes the best. We can see how we do.”
Boone will be entered in the auction on Thursday, Wiley said. It will all start over in October, when Wiley will get another cow and raise it for next year’s fair.
The fair also hosts a range of arts and crafts contests in the Dover Building, where all of the works are on display.
Cindy Evans is volunteering in the children’s department of the Dover Building, where children’s artwork such as ceramics, paintings and collages are shown.
“Well, I feel that displaying their crafts and things are a lost art,” Evans said. “And they love coming in here and looking for their items to see if they won a ribbon.”
It’s a safe place to learn about responsibility and disappointment, Evans said. Kids have to work on a deadline, and some might not get a ribbon, but they usually come back the next year to try again.
The Dover Building is in the thick of the fairgrounds. Visitors can stop in for a break in the air conditioning before moving on to the Delaware State Duck and Goose Calling Championship Saturday or the Nanticoke Indian Dance Troupe performance next Saturday to close out the fair.

For many people in Delaware, the UDairy Creamery is a favorite spot for a scoop of ice cream.
Whether customers are ordering guava sherbet, butter pecan or one of the creamery’s many other flavors, the University of Delaware shop has built a loyal following over the past 15 years.
But almost as soon as the creamery opened on the university’s South Campus, it outgrew its space.
“It was always a little too small and a little too tough to come in and leave at the same time,” said Jen Rodammer of the UDairy Creamery.
Connected to the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture, the creamery offers products that go beyond ice cream. Everything starts with the university’s agricultural programs.
“We sell honey from our apiary, we sell wool blankets for our sheep, we have Angus beef cuts available too, so we are really the connector between the college and everything we do here,” Rodammer said.
For now, customers can visit a temporary pop-up version of the creamery inside the ice rink next door while construction continues on the main building.
The renovation project, which has closed the creamery’s longtime home and impacted traffic near Townsend Hall, is designed to create a larger and more accessible space. University officials say visitors can expect quicker service, additional seating and more room to enjoy their ice cream.
“So our patio is being completely redone. There’s gonna be benches, chairs, tables and just a lot more friendly and welcoming,” Rodammer said. “It’s not just gonna be the creamery. It’s botanical gardens also.”
By late August, one of the biggest changes will be a stronger connection between the creamery and the University of Delaware’s botanical garden trails, which are free and open to the public. Visitors will be able to walk the trails and see the cows that help produce the milk used in the creamery’s ice cream.
The expansion comes after years of growth for a business that Rodammer said was originally expected to be much smaller.
“I don’t think they thought it was gonna be more than a mom and pop shop. And it really changed quickly. We’ve become a community staple, which is really exciting for us,” she said.
