Fair officials announced that fairgoers will be able to visit a new experience, the Super City: Where Heroes Unite! exhibit, open daily, to hang out with their favorite Marvel and DC Comics Super Heroes.

Guests will have the chance to meet and get a photo with their favorite super hero at noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. daily throughout the fair, August 2 -18. The super hero “meet & greets” are free and will last 90 minutes.
