The annual fair will host the best of the best. So get jammin’ on your jam, finish that quilt, fertilize your flowers and break out your favorite pie recipe. Everyone is invited to participate in the Fair. Take a great photo? Paint an amazing landscape? Are you crafty? Scrapbooking your thing? With hundreds of categories to enter, there is something for everyone. It’s good, clean fun with a little competition thrown in – can your best win the blue ribbon?
Sure, it’s a lot of fun to compete and maybe even win a prize. But entering an exhibit into the Randolph County Fair is much more than that. It’s about tradition and being a part of the community. The Fair celebrates being neighbors and enjoying time with family and friends. By putting something you made in the fair, you help encourage others, especially the kids. The Fair needs you! Enter an item (or maybe even several). It’s easy, it’s fun and you will be helping make the Fair a true community event. Who knows, you may even inspire someone to take up your hobby.
If you are interested in participating in the fair by entering a project, click the COMPETITIVE EVENTS link above. You’ll find all the entry information, including rules and entry forms.
Arkansas Game & Fish Aquarium
Since 2009 we have been fortunate enough to enjoy the AR Game & Fish Aquarium. Not only the children, but the adults also enjoy watching the big fish swim around. The children can climb up on the side to get a good look and are content to stay there while mom and dad rest or see other things. This display will arrive on Thursday and then will leave on Saturday afternoon. We would like to Thank them for bringing this attraction every year. It is refreshing and interesting to everyone.
Rodeo
Last year was the second year for the Wooten Rodeo Company to be with us and we re planning on having them back again this year. Saturday night they were in full force, giving us one of the most exciting evenings we have had in quite a while. The stock they brought in was HUGE, in case you didn't get a chance to go down and look them over. They have stock that is listed as premium winning stock and the championships to prove it.
Some of their champions are: #102 Black Jack Superjuice, IPRA Bucking Bull of the Year and PBR Final Qualifier; #121 AllTell, Bucking Bull of the Year; #183 Taco John, Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year; #11 Easy Money, two time Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year; #T-11, Bareback Horse of the Year and home of Big Buford, two time Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year!! They have won Rodeo of the Year 12 times since 1996 with 19 Bucking Stock of the Year awards!
They bring the top rodeo announcers to keep the audience informed on the riders, stock and sometimes to help one of the most important people in the arena to the cowboy, the rodeo clown. He puts himself between the rider and the animal time and time again. Sometimes he even offers a laugh or two.
The Wooten Rodeo Company carries IPRA, ARA and PRCA accreditation. They are also members of the following associations: IPRA, MRCA, ACRA, URA, NAMA, BOA and PBR.
They promise a fun filled evening with Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, Women’s Barrel Racing, and Bull Riding!
Get your arm band early for the Rodeo and have a great time. Admission for the rodeo will be adult $10.00 and child $5.00. They must be on the arm upon entering the arena and will not be replaced because of breakage due to tampering. You can come and go during the rodeo, just like before, but it will be easier to re-enter. The armband will be for the rodeo only, and cannot be used on the carnival grounds for rides.
We ask that you remember there are people with limited physical abilities and there is a special place set aside for them. Please help us keep this area clear so that they may enjoy the Rodeo as much as everyone else. Thank you for your understanding.
Let's get ready to ride!!!!!
The fair will have great family entertainment, livestock shows, exhibits, delicious food and terrific bargains on unique items and thrilling carnival rides. Some special surprises are in store. It’s an affordable community event filled with fun, food and frivolity!
And best of all the admission is FREE, so don’t miss out!
