Join the Fun 5 Jam Packed Days
Both young and old alike will enjoy daily entertainment, contests, shows, demonstrations, displays, foods and goods offered by a variety of fair vendors.
Indoor Exhibits
The fair’s indoor exhibits – in the Exhibits Building – showcase the agricultural, horticultural, culinary, and creative abilities of entrants.
Submit your own entries or simply come along and admire the photography, artwork, crafts, baked goods, honey, jams, jellies, pickles, relishes, summer vegetables and more!
Livestock Auction
The Fair’s Livestock Auction is the culmination of a year’s work for our young 4H-ers and FFA members who select, purchase, feed, and groom livestock to be judged, graded and sold at the Fair. Their projects include steers, lambs, hogs, and for the first time this year, poultry.
Carnival Rides
