Livestock is the foundation of the fair. Livestock exhibits provide everyone the opportunity to experience our true agriculture roots....after all, this is an agricultural fair. Today many guests have not had the opportunity to see farm life that's so important to our American way of life. Agriculture is our lifeline for our food supply. Come check out our barn to learn and see!
