Looking for something fun to do this weekend?

Join us Saturday at 6:00 PM on Main Street in Ottawa for the annual Fair Parade, led by Grand Marshal Josh Wolke!

This year's parade will be even more special as we welcome participants from the annual Fair Convention Parade. Bring your family, grab a spot along the route, and help us kick off fair week with a great community tradition!

Be sure to mark your calendar for next week and stop by to support our Junior Fair youth. They've worked hard on their projects and would love to see a great crowd at their events!

The Putnam County Fair Office will have extended hours before and during the fair to help with all your fair needs. Stop in, say hello, and visit our wonderful staff — we're always happy to help!

NEW this year at the Putnam County Fair—KOI Drag Racing!

Join us on Thursday, June 25, in the grandstands for an exciting evening of drag racing action. Don't miss your chance to experience this new event and cheer on the competitors as they race for the win!

We look forward to seeing you at the fair!

Fingers crossed this year's fair doesn't bring the extreme heat we experienced in 2025! However, if temperatures rise, we'd love to once again provide freezer pops for our youth.

If you would like to donate freezer pops for the fair, you may:

- Drop off frozen freezer pops at the Secretary's Office prior to the fair
- Bring them directly to the fair
- Contact Austin to arrange a drop-off time or ask any questions

Austin's contact information can be found in the comments.

Thank you to all the individuals and businesses whose generosity helps make our fair such a successful and enjoyable week for everyone!
