Might not be a pull tonight but there is still many things to do at the Winnebago County Fair. Come out and see the animals, bands and many family entertainment choices.

Unfortunately, our first rain out of the year goes to the Winnebago County Fair-Oshkosh, WI While this is much needed rain for our famers out there, we will hope for better pulling conditions for tomorrow night at the Jo Daviess County Fair in Warren, IL!

🚜🐂 Attention Grandstand Event Contestants! 🏁

We've received a few questions about contestant entrances and parking, especially with this year's fair layout as the carnival shares the grandstand/stage area.

For all Grandstand Events (Rodeo, Tractor Pulls, and Demo Derby):
➡️ Contestant entrance will remain on Jackson Street.

When you arrive for your event, follow the road to the back side of the stage. Event staff will direct you to the appropriate parking, pit and staging area.

Please refer to the attached maps for general guidance.
• Trackside access to staging areas will be determined by your event coordinator - follow their instructions for access. Do NOT automatically pull into the track area unless directed there.
• Rodeo will have a staging area to the west of the track.
• Tractor Pulls will be pulling from East to West as we have in past years. Tractors will be directed to the east side of the track by event coordinators.

Thank you for your patience as we work with this year's updated layout due to construction restrictions on other parts of the grounds. We look forward to seeing all of our contestants at the fair!
