Fair Dinners

 Watch for information about our dinners this fall and winter. Our first dinner will be Monday, October 27. Reservation information is not out yet, but should be soon. All dinners will be picked up from the FAIR OFFICE this year!

Hope to be serving you soon!

Thank You!

 Thanks to everyone who came out to the Fair!

The Fireworks were wonderful! Many thanks to the VILLAGE OF CERRO GORDO and the CERRO GORDO AMERICAN LEGION for sponsoring them!

We're sorry the tractor pulls were rained out--plan to come out for them next year!

Kids, work on projects to bring to the fair in 2026!

Dates will be June 18-21, Father's Day weekend.

See you there!!

Music Raffle at the Fair!

 We have a new event that everyone says is loads of fun!

It is Name That Tune Music Raffle!! on Friday night

Many places call it music bingo, but we are calling it a raffle. It's still played the same, just with Raffle paper instead of bingo paper.

Call Tonya (see the photo below) and get your tickets in advance! We will only sell 100 tickets.

Enjoy Music Raffle, then Silver Lake in the Beer Barn, and then FIREWORKS sponsored by the Village of Cerro Gordo!

Fair Book on line

 Yay! The Fair book is on line!

You may also access the entry forms and schedule.

Entries close by mail at midnight, June 5, but you may make entries in person on Friday, June 6, at the fairgrounds, between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.

Hope to see you at the Piatt County Fair!

Fair book coming soon

 The 2025 Fair book should be on line soon. In the meantime, feel free to use the 2024 fairbook for entries. The main changes are dates and times.

The entry forms have been updated for 2025. If you click on the ENTRY FORM link on each of those tabs, you will have a cleaner copy of the forms than if you just print it off the blog page itself.

Fair Update

 

The Piatt County Fair is set for June 12-15. You will find much of the same schedule as in the past. Our biggest event is ITPA tractor pull on Saturday night (6:30 p.m.)! Come out and see some great pulling that night! We also will have a Tot Rod pull that afternoon. Kids can register at the event—watch for more information on that.

We will have a Fireworks display on Friday night! The Village of Cerro Gordo is again sponsoring our fireworks show, starting around 9:30.

Kids may bring their entries for non-livestock exhibits on Wednesday evening, June 11 between 5:00 and 6:00. After all exhibits are in place, Floriculture judging will take place.

Thursday morning, all the other non-livestock exhibits will be judged. Thursday evening is when the Dairy cattle come in. NEW this year is a Name That Tune Music Raffle—tickets need to be purchased in advance—and Rockin’ Randy will be DJing in the Beer Barn.

Friday morning is the Dairy Cattle show, starting by 9:00. Swine may come in Friday evening. Also in the evening, 25/8 Xtreme inflatables will be set up for all to enjoy. Purchase a wristband for all evening fun. Silver Lake will perform in the Beer Barn at 8:00. Then, after it’s good and dark, the fireworks display will happen.

Saturday morning will be the Swine show at 9:00. 25/8 Xtreme will be back, ready for all who wish to participate. Again, a wristband gets you fun for the evening. The Tot Rod pull will happen sometime that afternoon, before the big event, our ITPA pull at 6:30. The Cerro Gordo American Legion will have a flag ceremony at our flag pole in honor of Flad Day. For later evening entertainment, Kalen MXRCUS will be playing in the Beer Barn. Beef cattle may come in on Saturday evening.

Sunday morning at 9:00 is the Beef Cattle show. Our last big event is the Piatt County Outlaw Hookers Antique Tractor Pull at 11:00. If you like antique tractors, this will be the show for you. There is no charge to watch.

Our food vendors will be back and eager for your business.

It takes many volunteers to put on our Fair—we have no paid workers—and we work hard to make this fair a success. Visit our website at www.piattcountyfair.blogspot.com and check out our facebook page for updates on the schedule. Come support the Piatt County Fair!
