2024 Fair

First, we are driving the golf carts at this year's Farm Progress Show! Come out and support the show and the Fair!

 We are excited that the ITPA tractor pull is moving to Saturday night in 2024! We hope this will give more people a chance to come, enjoy the day, and enjoy the pull!

Kids Kamp will be back next year. Watch for notice about that next spring.

Also planned for next year: Xtreme inflatables and zipline will be back, we hope the cheerleading clinic and baton twirlers will return, and we plan for the Tot Rod to return as well. We may even have adult classes for the Tot Rod! Get ready!

We're exploring ways to improve our livestock shows and the general exhibits.

We can always use volunteers. If you want to help let Donnie Ritchie, 217-855-4900, or Tina Bolsen, 217-620-8185, know.
