NEW: The Giant Wheel
See the fair like never before on The Giant Wheel, a towering 90-foot Ferris wheel making its debut this year, bigger and taller than anything we had in 2025. It’s the perfect view of the midway (and yes, your new favorite photo spot).

But the midway is just the beginning…

AGUP TRACTOR SHOW
From antique classics to modern machines, the AgUp Tractor Show will be on display throughout the The Great Forrest County Fair.
Got a tractor? Be part of the show and show it off. Registration is open now! REGISTER HERE.

SHOW-ME SWINE PIG RACES
A fan-favorite attraction that’s as fun as it is unpredictable. Don’t miss these racing pigs in action daily during the fair.

STOKES DISTRIBUTING BEER GARDEN
Your go-to spot to kick back with a cold drink and soak in the fun. Grab a Red Bull while you’re there and keep the energy going all night long. Available each night of the fair.

FUN for the Whole Family
Whether you’re coming for the rides, the food, the shows, or just the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone at this year’s fair.
