We are proud to celebrate the 105th year of the Kimball-Banner County Fair — a long-standing tradition of community, agriculture, and family fun. The fair showcases a wide array of events and exhibits highlighting the talents and hard work of our local 4-H and FFA members.

Fair week will feature livestock shows, a horse show, dog show, and small animal show, along with other engaging 4-H events such as the Fashion Revue, Table Setting Competition, and Archery Competition. Visitors can also enjoy exhibits of home environment projects, cooking, sewing, and many other creative endeavors displayed in the 4-H Exhibit Hall throughout the week.
