The Human Cannonball Returns to the Steele County Fair
David Smith Jr., better known as the Human Cannonball, will be returning to the 2017 Steele County Free Fair. Dave has been launched over the fairgrounds for many years and is still one of the highlights of the fair. He's scheduled to be launched over the Gold Star Midway each day of the fair at 5:30PM and 8:30PM and on Sunday at 2:30PM and 6:30PM. You can read and see more of his feats on Dave Smith's Facebook page.
Another popular attraction that's returning to this summer's fair is Hairball. They'll be performing in the grandstand on Thursday night of the fair.
