Valencia County Fair

09/01/2026

The show ring may be quiet now, but we’re still thinking about these moments. 🐮❤️

Our beef exhibitors put in countless hours caring for, feeding, fitting and working with their animals—and it all came together in the show ring last week.

To our sponsors: look what you helped make possible! Your support helps put opportunities like this in front of our youth and gives them a place to work hard, learn and show what they can do.

✨ WELL… WE DID IT. ✨

The gates are closed, the animals are headed home, the show ring is quiet, the indoor exhibits are packed up, and the fairgrounds are finally getting some sleep.

After months of planning, countless hours, early mornings, late nights, a few “what were we thinking?” moments, and ALL the livestock and indoor exhibit chaos… the 2026 Valencia County Fair is officially in the books! ❤️

To our exhibitors, whether you showed an animal, entered an indoor exhibit, or BOTH, YOU are what this fair is all about. Watching you work, create, learn, compete, and make memories is why we do what we do. 🐷🐮🐑🐐🐔🐰🎨🧵🍪

To our families, volunteers, sponsors, judges, vendors, entertainers, Valencia County staff and everyone who came out and supported us, THANK YOU. We truly couldn’t do it without you!

SHOW & GLOW 2026… YOU WERE ONE FOR THE BOOKS! 🌟

Until next year, Valencia County! ❤️
