In October of 1858, a group of
citizens met at the Burge & Hogue Drug store in downtown This has been an exciting year for the Fair Board, as they recently completed the purchase of six acres of ground, and also received a donation of an additional thirteen acres of land. Future plans are to move the parking areas to the new grounds, and to provide a larger centralized area for our fair activities. Our Grandstand Shows this year include the ever-popular Demolition Derby on Wednesday and Thursday nights and the Outlaw Tractor Pull and Street Diesel Pickup Pull on Friday night. Saturday evening, watch the mud fly as we present our down and dirty Mud-A-Thon. The highlights of Wednesday evening will be the crowning of the Platte County Fair Queen, the Missy/Master contest and the presentation of outstanding 4-H’ers and Ambassadors. Senior Citizens are admitted free of charge on Thursday, and treated to Bingo and prizes. Also on Thursday, sign up for the Adult Talent Contest or visit the Mule Show. Come out early Saturday morning to watch the Horse Show, and participate in the Kid’s Games. Round out your afternoon enjoying the Square dancers, Fiddle Contest, Super Farmer Contest, and Youth talent Showcase. Kids will love the petting zoo, and the Midland
Empire Shows will have rides and games with special promotions on
Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon.
Be sure to visit the Sit, relax and listen to your favorite band at the Dirty Shame
Saloon, Pavilion, or As
you can see, the Platte County Fair Board has been diligently working
all year long to make this county fair the best in the Have a great time at the fair,
