10/11/2025. Thank you for another wonderful year at the fair!  We had over 16,000 visitors this year.

2025 -- We awarded one 55" TV and $2,200 to our Arts and Craft participants this year!   The TV is given away from a random drawing of ALL entries to the Show.   The more you submit...the better your chances for winning.   $250 was awarded to the Best of Fair submission and $75 was awarded to each of the division and age 1st Place Finishers.   Next year we hope to spread the premuim prizes further to 2nd and 3rd place finishers.  Thank you for participating this year!
