Great Fair is in the Books

 We had a wonderful fair weekend!

Thanks to all who came down to support us and our vendors!

All the shows had wonderful exhibits and livestock. The ITPA pull went off extremely well, and the Antique Pull went well too.

Hope to see you next year, June 12-15, at the 2025 Piatt County Fair!

Beef Cattle and Antique Tractors

 Today at the Piatt County Fair is the Beef Cattle Show this morning, and the Piatt County Outlaw Hookers Antique Tractor Pull.


Come out and watch some good shows--both have no cost for admission.


The Antique Pull will start with entries at 11:00. Sit in the stands or bring lawn chairs and umbrellas (it will be hot!!).

Bishops and Highway Heartburn will be open for lunch. 

If nonlivestock exhibitors have not picked up their entries, today is the day to do that and pick up checks in the office.


Enjoy the Fair!
