You’ll enjoy making memories with your family as you experience a county fair like it was in the past – an event where people met with their neighbors, came to see what’s new, and engaged in a little friendly competition and games of chance.

The County Fair is a family-friendly event for all ages. There are any number of things you might see or participate in at Cowtown’s County Fair, depending on when you arrive and which buildings/areas you visit.

Teachers and Home Educators: Don’t miss Education Day, with special pricing and extra educational opportunities.

Activities and entertainment planned for Cowtown’s County Fair

Events like these are a great time to experience Cowtown. Volunteer re-enactors come out and make the town really come alive, and there’s always activity happening somewhere.

If you get hungry or thirsty, rustle up some grub (hot dogs) and sarsaparilla in the saloon, and don’t forget to take lots of selfies in front of the wanted posters tacked up to fences around town. 🙂

Regular admission applies to Cowtown’s County Fair, but there’s no additional cost for special events like these.

If you are a Cowtown Member (like I am) you and all your kids or grandkids get in free!! This is one of the best membership deals in town.
