The annual fair runs through Saturday at the fairgrounds on Fairgrounds Road.
Organizers say the fair continues to serve as a showcase for youth achievement, agriculture, creative arts, and community involvement across north Arkansas and the Ozarks. Visitors have enjoyed livestock shows, exhibit halls, midway attractions, food vendors, and entertainment throughout the week.
One of the annual events happened on Wednesday with the annual Senior Day which invited Senior Citizens to come out to the fair for free lunch and a day at the fair.
One of the most anticipated events remains the annual Demolition Derby, scheduled for Saturday evening in the fair arena. The crowd-favorite competition traditionally draws large audiences as drivers compete to be the last vehicle running.
Fair officials say the event has been a cornerstone of the region for generations, bringing together families, students, exhibitors, farmers, and businesses from across north Arkansas and southern Missouri.
This year’s fair marks the 139th edition of the event, continuing a tradition that highlights the area’s agricultural heritage and community spirit.
The fairgrounds also feature exhibits highlighting local talents through creative arts displays and youth programs, while carnival attractions provide entertainment for visitors of all ages.
