The winners of the basket auction will be announced during the Ag Olympics on Friday evening.

The featured exhibit at this year’s Fair will be the Wyoming Quilt Trail Block division. Prizes will be awarded in two categories- actual wooden quilt blocks entered and pictures of wooden quilt blocks already on display around the county. There are lots of quilt blocks throughout our county, so we hope to have lots of entries in this special division. In coordination with the Quilt Block division there will also be a Quilt Block Scavenger Hunt that fair goers can participate in during Fair week. Again prizes will be awarded to the person who identifies the location of the selected quilt blocks.  

Fair week is a great time to enjoy all of the delicious food that will be served. The Niobrara County Homemakers and the Niobrara County Search and Rescue will be serving tasty breakfast and lunch menus Monday through Friday that will also feature many new and delicious menu selections, including hamburgers and French fries. Be sure to join us for all of your Fair week meals. Starting on Tuesday evening free barbeques will be served to all fair-goers. Tuesday evening’s barbeque is sponsored and served by the Lusk Alliance Church starting at 6 p.m. The Ron Lund Memorial Barbeque will be served on Wednesday starting at 5 p.m. and is sponsored by Wavy 7 Livestock- Dustin Cushman, Lusk Masons of Harmony Lodge 24, Pontarolo Construction- Jim and Amy Pontarolo, and Hiway Super Service- Gene and Claudia Bartow. On Thursday morning starting at 6:30 a.m. Rancher’s Feed and Supply will be sponsoring a free breakfast for all early risers at County Fair. On Thursday evening Clark and Associates, the Insurance Corner and Rancher’s Feed and Supply sponsor the Livestock Sale Barbeque starting at 5 p.m. Then on Friday evening the Niobrara Electric Association is the barbeque sponsor with the Niobrara County Cattlewomen cooking and serving the meal.

The County Fair will also feature youth Goat, Sheep, Beef, Swine, Dog and Horse Shows plus 4-H, FFA and Open Class Exhibits and various community booths in the Exhibit Hall.
