Benton County Fair July 31 - August 5, 2007
A lot goes into the fair. Lots of volunteers, lots of vendors, lots of attendees, lots of food, lots of animals, lots of exhibits, lots of cleaning, lots of electricity, lots of meetings, and lots of time.
Merchants can rent a space (inside or outside) to promote their business, offer demonstrations, and make sales. Contact the fair office for rental pricing and further details.
Would you like to submit one of your creations for judging in open class? You can enter everything from photography to baked goods, from handicrafts to livestock, or even something unique created from recycled material. You do NOT need to be a resident of Benton County. For more information, see the open class exhibits page.
Would your community group, church, or team like to earn some extra money? If so, checkout the opportunities available to groups. There is plenty of tasks to be peformed during the fair.
Would your business like to sponsor events or get more involved in the fair? Checkout the sponsorship opportunities.
Do you possess a traditional skill or knowledge and are you willing to share it with the public? We are looking for persons to demonstrate or speak about our heritage. More information on our heritage opportunities page.
Do you have ideas for improving the fair? How should we celebrate Minnesota's 150th birthday in 2008? What about the 100th Benton County Fair in 2012? Please contact the office if you have ideas.
