Welcome to our new blog!

 Piatt County Fair has moved from piattcountyfair.com to piattcountyfair.blogspot.com

We hope to post all things Fair on this blog and on our facebook page (also called Piatt County Fair).

So far, we are planning to have a fair, from June 17-20, 2021. Our livestock shows are all jackpot open shows and ALL require advance entries this year. We have a new swine superintendent--Jon Titus from Camargo, IL. Our other superintendents for livestock remain the same: Jim Perry for beef and Kathy Whitted & Shirley Harris for dairy. The dairy show is on Friday, June 18; the swine show on Saturday, June 19; and the beef show is Sunday, June 20.

Our junior general department are: Floriculture--superintendent Cindy Miller; Fine Arts & Textiles, Education & Natural History (hobbies, crafts)--superintendent Judy Sochor; Culinary--Superintendent Cheryl Horne. Then we have 7 and Under department and an adult general entries department. These exhibits will all come in on Thursday evening, June 17, between 5 and 6:00. Release time is TBD. These departments all require pre-entries.

In addition to exhibits and livestock, we will have an ITPA tractor pull, concerts in the beer barn, and an antique tractor pull.

Put the Fair on your calendar!
