Garfield County Historical Fair Display

Garfield County Fairgrounds South Hall: 12 pm – 7 pm, August 6 – 9, 2025

The Garfield County Fair has been a cherished tradition for over a century, bringing together the community to celebrate agriculture, craftsmanship, and the hardworking spirit of its residents. Established in the early 1900s, the fair began as a small gathering of local farmers and ranchers showcasing their livestock, crops, and homemade goods. Over the decades, it has grown into a vibrant annual event, featuring rodeos, contests, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities while remaining true to its agricultural roots. Generations of families participated in the fair, making it a cornerstone of Garfield County’s heritage.

Central to the fair’s success is the Garfield County 4-H program, which has played a vital role in shaping young leaders since its inception. 4-H in Garfield County has provided youth with hands-on experiences in agriculture, animal husbandry, home economics, and leadership development. Through livestock exhibitions, project displays, and competitions, 4-H members learn responsibility, dedication, and the value of hard work. The program continues to grow, inspiring new generations to take pride in their skills and make meaningful contributions to the community. As the fair continues to evolve, the spirit of 4-H remains at its heart, ensuring that Garfield County’s agricultural legacy thrives for years to come.
