Sew it! Grow it! Show it!

Since the Fair’s beginning in 1957, locals have brought their pride and joy to show off all of their hard work. Farmers, housewives and children alike strive to have the best of all the rest! From sewing to vegetables to baked and canned goods to arts & crafts people wanted to win The Best of Show at the Warren County Fair.

Nowadays, not much has changed. Anyone, no matter what age, in Warren County as well as the surrounding counties can still show off their best work of the year. What’s even better now is that you can win money ($) for winning prizes of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in all categories!
