Winners of each category and show will be posted as soon as possible.
Junior Fair Still Departments
Still projects at the fair showcase a wide range of hands-on learning, where exhibitors develop practical life skills while exploring topics that matter. From science experiments and engineering builds to agricultural displays and environmental studies, these projects blend creativity with real-world knowledge. Youth not only gain confidence and responsibility, but also learn more about the world around them – how it works, how to care for it, and how to solve problems within it. Still projects are where curiosity meets purpose, making them a vital part of the fair experience.Â
Junior Fair Life
Exploring fair life means diving into the heart of the excitement – from the colorful energy of the parade that kicks off the celebration, to the pride and poise of the fair court representing the spirit of the fair. At the center of it all is the Junior Fair Board, the hardworking team behind the scenes making everything run smoothly. Their leadership, dedication, and passion help bring the fair to life, creating unforgettable moments and a sense of community that lasts long after the fairgrounds clear.
