Welcome
“Welcome to the 92d annual Idaho County Fair. Our theme this
year is, ‘You’ve Got a Friend at the Idaho County Fair.’ The Fair Board
invites you to experience everything this year’s fair has to offer. All of
the 4-H and FFA members have been hard at work on projects ranging
from cooking and fashion to market animals and building projects.
The open class building has a variety of entries including homegrown
flowers, fruits and vegetables along with homemade quilts, afghans,
pictures and other creations. There is something for everyone, including
great food, interesting vendors and enjoyable entertainment. We
are looking forward to seeing you as you make new friends and great
memories at this year’s fair.”
