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.

Friday & Saturday Night Concerts

Come along to the fair to hear some great musical acts, from a wide variety of genres. Everything from Country to Rock to Pop!

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.
