Step back in time and join the fun with our Daily Decade-Themed Contests—a lively nod to the styles and trends of the past! Each day during the Fair, we’re hosting interactive contests that match the decade’s vibe, from a 1930s “make do” relay to a 1950s bubble gum blowing showdown, a 1960s hula hoop contest, an epic 1980s big hair battle, and more. Come dressed in your best throwback outfit for our daily costume challenges, and get ready to compete—or just cheer wildly from the sidelines. With plenty of laughs, fun prizes, and ultimate bragging rights on the line, you won’t want to miss a minute of the action!
Monday night in the Grandstands brings the excitement with two new competitions: the Rural Olympics and the Open Class Master Showman Contest! Featuring both Youth and Adult Divisions – The Rural Olympics kick off with hilarious, hands-on challenges like Stick Horse Barrel Racing and Hay Bale Stacking —celebrating country skills with a fun, competitive twist. Then, it's time to hit the arena for the Open Class Master Showman, where anyone can step into the ring and relive their 4-H glory days—or try showmanship for the very first time. Contestants will draw a livestock species at random and show it in front of a judge. It’s unpredictable, entertaining, and open to all. Buckles go to the top showmen bragging rights included!
And don't forget—daily food contests include free samples for all participants, where everyone wins!
