After plenty of walking, looking, chatting, and taking in all the amazing vendors at the Jerome County Fair & Rodeo, our judges made their picks!
And let us tell you… These vendors brought their A-GAME! 🔥
BEST COMMERCIAL VENDOR | Northside Military Museum 🇺🇸
Talk about All-American! From their incredible history and displays to the creative idea of transforming a BUS into their exhibit, they definitely caught our judges’ attention!
One judge summed it up perfectly:
“Well, you can’t get more American than that!”
BEST FOOD & DRINK VENDOR | Cutthroat Coffee ☕
These folks absolutely nailed the Summer Nights theme! From their décor to the special themed touches in EVERY DRINK, they went above and beyond.
Add in their great, friendly staff, and you had a winning combination! The only complaint our judges heard?
They were so good, they were going to make somebody go broke this week!
THE G.O.A.T. AWARD | The Soda Pop 🥤
They were the ONLY vendor to make it onto ALL THREE judges’ Top Picks lists! That alone says a LOT!
From the effort put into their décor, to the positive interactions with customers, to those absolutely GREAT first impressions, The Soda Pop consistently stood out from the crowd.
When all three judges agree…
YOU’VE GOT A G.O.A.T. 🐐
Congratulations to all three of our 2026 Vendor Award Winners!
And a HUGE thank-you to ALL of our vendors who showed up, decorated, served, smiled, welcomed fairgoers, and helped make this year’s Fair so incredible. ❤️
And another HUGE thank-you to our three judges!
These 3 spent a couple of nights with us walking the Fair, looking closely at our vendors, talking with vendors and fairgoers, and diligently working through their judging process. With so many incredible vendors to choose from, it was no easy task!
We truly appreciate the time, effort, thought, and attention they put into making sure these awards were well deserved. Thank you for recognizing our vendors for what they earned!
Each of you brought something special to the Jerome County Fair & Rodeo, and we are so thankful you chose to be part of it!
