Fair adds an extra Day

The Boone County Fair Board announced today that they will be adding a day to the Fair.  Starting in 2026 Wednesday July 15th will be opening day, and the Fair will run through Sunday July 19th. This means one more day of carnival rides, food vendors,  livestock shows, and more! Who wouldn't want an extra day of all that fun?!  The Fair Board explains, it has been a request of 4-H and FFA exhibitors and their families for many years to expand the Fair to help spread out some of the events. Additionally, the Fair board has been adding activities for the general public to enjoy making the four day schedule very full.  With these two major factors taken into consideration, the Fair Board worked in cooperation with the Extension Office as well as 4-H and FFA volunteers to develop a schedule that provide opportunities for exhibitors to fully participate in all activities. Additionally, the Fair board held conversations with vendors and carnival staff to ensure they could add a day to our Fair. After many months of planning, the new schedule has finally been confirmed. Fair Board President Patrick Erb said, "We are looking forward of adding another day of Fair fun for our community." Check out the full schedule by clicking the link below.
