The 2026 Sherman County Fair officially kicks off this Friday, July 17th, at the Sherman County Fairgrounds. The weeklong celebration will once again bring together 4-H members, livestock exhibitors, volunteers, and community members together for several days of competition, exhibits, entertainment, and family activities.
On Thursday, July 16th, 4-H members will begin dropping off their non-perishable static exhibits from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., marking the unofficial start of fair week as exhibit buildings begin to fill ahead of judging.
The fair proper begins the next day, on Friday, July 17th. Exhibition booth setup will take place throughout the day. From 9:00 a.m. to noon, 4-H members will check in perishable exhibits and participate in interview judging. Open class exhibits will be accepted during a similar timeframe, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
