The heat was on Tuesday at the Clark County Fair, with temperatures in the low 90s. In addition to plenty of Clark Public Utilities’ free ice water, there were other ways to cool humans and animals.

Some fairgoers played in misting stations. The pool was one place for canine visitors to cool off during the Dock Dogs event.

More hot weather is forecast through Thursday, with an excess-heat warning in effect for the entire metro area.
