Red White and Blue, Come to the Fair- It’s For You!
By: Colton Cohen, Fair Royalty King
All across rural America, small-town memories are made at the County fair. This year our theme is Red White and Blue, This fair’s for you. This year, what will bring you to the Boundary County Fair?
Will you go for the games and contests? Will you go for the food? Will you go to support the community and those involved in 4-H and FFA? Will you go to enjoy time with friends, family and community? Whatever brings you, the Boundary County Fair is a yearly tradition of memories for people all around our county and beyond. Fair week is a time when people from all walks of life come together in Boundary County to enjoy a week of fun and display their hard work and involvement. It’s a time for people to give back to the community for all that it has offered them. Whether you’re there to show and auction your animal, enter for best cucumber, or maybe you’re just there to have a good time, every single member of the community plays an important role in keeping the fair continuing.
This year, consider participating in the community events at the fair. Chances are you’ll walk away with a smile and want to return next year. Who knows, maybe you will have bonus winnings with some cash or a ribbon, or a raffle prize. This year we’re proud to offer our regular contests and activities as well as many new activities and contests that’ll be sure to entertain your family. We have a great lineup of free music concerts.
This year’s new highlight is the Goosechase scavenger hunt. In this scavenger hunt, we will post daily items for you to find at the fair on the Goosechase app. You will then have the ability to find what our tasks are, take a picture of your find, and submit it on the app to score points. The new Galaxy Ninja course should be an opportunity for the young ones to try their hand at ninja training. The Mechanical bull is new and can test the cowboy in you.
If you haven’t already, pick up a fair book to browse all that our fair offers. I hope you can make it to a day of the fair from August 5th-10th. See you there!

Meet Fair Royalty applicant Katie Vader!343… That is how many days it has been since the Boundary County Fair of 2023. It’s been 343 days since the livestock exhibitors scrubbed their livestock to a sparkle; 343 days since our best bakers and cooks put on their aprons to try their hand for that big purple ribbon, complete with bragging rights; 343 days since the community competed, gathered, and grew closer together. It seems like yesterday when everyone pulled together to clean up the aftermath and sign off until next year, but what about the month before; where we planned, anticipated, and waited eagerly for that fair to come?!? Guess what…? It’s that time again! Dust off those recipe boxes, start eyeballing your gardens, 4-Her’s and FFAer’s wrangle those projects, because (believe it or not) it is just around the corner. Yep, that’s right! “Red, white, and blue, this fair is for you!” There are just 17 days until the entries go in, the anticipation ends, and all the fun begins! Join us at the Boundary County Fair, August 6th through the 10th, for family fun along with classic and friendly competitions. Who’s going to ride that pony stick the fastest; who can ride the mechanical bull the longest; and most importantly, who are you going to connect with from the community this year?!?We are excited to welcome everyone to share the experience at this grand event! The trusty Fair Board has been working hard to make this the best fair yet. We are thrilled to present a new activity, the Goosechase App! With this phone app, scavenge your way through the fair snapping pictures and tracking down the elusive fair officials and creating lasting memories with the images to go with them. Don’t forget about our annual Family Fun Night where every year our coordinators go above and beyond to facilitate an evening to remember for adults and children alike. Mabey you will go home with a friend to add to your flock, the title of tug of war champion, or a new spark for equine speed sports!? A plethora of venders and booths have already secured their spots for the week. Don’t miss the chance to shop around, meet our community members, and attend exciting events all day. Everyone, please mark your calendars for the Boundary County Fair of 2024, and I hope to see you there.
