Burleson County’s Proud Tradition The County Fair

Each year in September, young participants of Snook, Caldwell, and Somerville come together as exhibitors at the Burleson County Fair! Exhibitors bring their best in our livestock divisions, including: swine, broilers, turkeys, market heifers, rabbits, goats, lambs, steers, and commercial heifers. The Burleson County Fair also provides opportunities in other areas, such as: Ag Mechanics, Creative Living, Baked Goods, and Horticulture.

Beginning in June, fair memberships go on sale and our fair queen candidates work hard to make sure everyone in the county has an opportunity to purchase one. Fair Queen candidates earn $3 from each ticket they sell for their own personal scholarship money. On Sunday evening, a Burleson County Fair Queen is crowned at our live pageant to serve as the official ambassador throughout the week of the fair. Alongside her is also her Little Miss who is also crowned at the Little Miss Contest.

Friday evening is the live Commercial Heifer sale, followed on Saturday evening with the live Livestock Auction. Hundreds of supporters throughout the county show up to generously support the youth of Burleson County. After each live auction, head down to the pavilion to listen to live music and dance the night away.
