The family-friendly fair has cowboys competing for over $300,000 in prize money in numerous shows and midway attractions. Additionally, you can experience a lumberjack show, a BBQ Rib Fest, live country performances, and dozens of rides. The Agri-Zone also includes a petting zoo showcasing a variety of animals such as miniature donkeys, llamas, alpacas, sheep, horses, pigs and more. Capping off the first night of the fair is a firework celebration starting around 9:30 PM.
 
In addition to the rodeo shows, rides, and food, a big draw to the event is the live country performances! Live concerts are taking place at the Longhorn Saloon, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening of the fair. This year, headlining the concerts are Dave Hartney, Ettinger & Big 50, and Washboard Union. Joining the outdoor Lordco stage this year are Emily Taylor Adams, Appaloosa, Mascot Dance Party and Whiskey Jane.
