And just like that… another Rusk County Fair is in the books! 🎡🐄🎠

After months of planning, preparing, working, and probably a little bit of stressing 😅, it’s hard to believe fair week is already over. But seeing the smiles, the kids showing off their animals, families making memories, and our community coming together makes every bit of it worth it!

Now we want to see YOUR fair memories! 📸❤️

Drop your favorite pictures from the fair in the comments! Whether it was an animal show, the rodeo, the demo derby, the rides, the food, a favorite fair tradition, or simply a fun family moment—we want to see it all!

Help us fill the comments with the memories that made the 2026 Rusk County Fair one to remember! 🥰

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, volunteered, sponsored, supported, and helped make this fair possible. We couldn’t do it without you!

Until next year, Rusk County! 🎡❤️

Rusk County Fair

Thank you for the kindness and welcoming us into your family. We can not say enough about everyone involved in the fair.

We are soooo sorry about not being able to come see every person and hang out. We were very busy.

The fair is building something special. We made some amazing friends.

You treated our kids like they were part of your family. That means so much to us. We will be back. Rusk County Fair is a hidden gem.

Thank you for allowing us to make the fair a Repterience. And thank you for showing us Rusk County fair is a must go to fair!!!!!!!!
