🎡That’s a wrap on another incredible fair! 🎡

As we close the gates on this year’s fair, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it such a memorable week.

To our Youth Livestock Auction buyers, thank you for investing in the future of our youth and supporting their hard work throughout the year.

Thank you to our event sponsors, commercial and food vendors, and everyone who helped provide a fun experience for our fairgoers.

A special thank you to the Christian Church Parking Team, EMS, Emergency Preparedness, and the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Department for helping keep our fair safe, organized, and running smoothly.

To our dedicated superintendents, countless volunteers, committee members, and all of the behind-the-scenes supporters.. you are the backbone of this fair. Your time, hard work, and dedication often go unseen, but they never go unnoticed.

Most importantly, thank you to the parents, families, and mentors who spend countless hours throughout the entire year encouraging, teaching, transporting, and supporting the young people who exhibit at our fair. Your commitment makes these opportunities possible, and the impact you have reaches far beyond fair week.

And finally, thank you to our exhibitors, fairgoers, and community for making this year’s fair, our 100th anniversary fair, one to remember. We couldn’t do it without each and every one of you.

We’ll see you next year for our 101st year! ❤️🎠
