As always, we encourage the community to get involved with the Park County Fair by providing entrees to the Open Classes. In the past, we have had a beautiful display of hand-made quilts, clothes, photos, art, woodworking, and homemade baked goods! Contact the Fair Grounds Manager to enter your handiwork this year at 719-836-4289. Open Class entries will be taken in Bailey and Fairplay. Call the office for details.
All 4H members work very hard on their projects and I encourage everyone to come and see the effort the 4H members put into their projects. We, the 4H members, enjoy enlightening the people that come to support us, and this great program. County Fair is the time the members really get to show how much we care about our animals, and also to show how much we enjoy what we do! Come and see what we are all about!
This is my 9th year and final year in 4H, I have loved everything on this journey! I have showed dogs and horses and I have been involved in Park County Royalty for four years. Seeing all the 4H members’ hard work pay off at fair is very rewarding. This year our fair will be full of exciting activities that the whole family will enjoy.
July 14th and 15th will be filled with horse competitions. Wednesday, July 18th will be a fun filled night with the Dog Show. Thursday will host an Open Gymkhana and then the rest of the livestock arrives. Don’t miss the chance to participate in the Ranch Rodeo or bring your best livestock from the range to compete in the Rancher’s Pride. The livestock competition carries us through the weekend ending Saturday night with a LIVE AUCTION beginning at 5:00 p.m. July 21st. The community is invited to join us for the Fair Dance Saturday evening after the auction ends. Sunday, July 22nd, begins with Cowboy Church, then features the Kids Day, Mutton Bustin’, and a Stick Horse Rodeo.
Gather friends and family and pile in the family car and make your way down to Fairplay for the Park County Fair this July!!! We all are excited for this year’s fair and we hope you are too! So make sure you come visit us at the 2012 Park County Fair.
