Stark County Junior Fair was established in May 1956. The show was held at the Smith sale barn, southeast of Wyoming, Illinois. The non livestock projects were judged at the Wyoming High School. The property was acquired from the CB & Q railroad. The current show barn was constructed around 1978. The building that houses the restrooms, office, and concession stand was donated by the Gene Gill Family. Our fair runs over a four day period the last weekend in July.
