General Fair Info
The current calendar is available to download under the Event Schedule tab. We have changed a few things around this year, so please check the schedule to stay up-to-date on all the happenings at the fairgrounds!
We are currently working to increase and update our parking areas, however this is a huge under taking and may take time to complete.
We have ordered 100 tons of dirty sand for the arena. After all the rain we have been getting, a lot has washed out of the arena.
Seeking your help
The Fair Board is searching for old photos/newspaper clippings to copy or any items we could display at the fair in August. We are also looking in to the possibility of a heritage day to show how things have changed in the last 100 years. If you can help, please contact us. Current members are: Steve McAdams, Philip Campbell, Allison Black, Alice Williams, Danny Clark, Donald Payne, Sarah Campbell, Nickie Casey, Laura Dobbs, Heath Jackson, Garry Reddell, Ricky Davis, Charity Richardson, and Waylon Eldridge.

Pageant
Changes are coming to the pageant this year. We attended our area meeting with the directors of the Arkansas State Fair Pageant and received a lot of valuable information.
At the encouragement of the Arkansas State Fair, we will be transitioning our pageant rules to follow their rules. Our pageant will not have the swimwear competition. Instead with the permission of the directors, we will have lifestyle/fitness wear.
The system is also switching to a uniform crown (same for all counties, districts, and the state pageant) for the divisions that move on to the state pageant.
The current prize package awarded by the Arkansas State Fair for the Miss Arkansas State Fair Queen is amazing!! It includes:
4 year scholarship to SAU
2 year scholarship to Lee School of Cosmetology
$2,000.00 Triple S Alarm Scholarship
$5,000.00 diamond ring exclusive to the Arkansas State Fair Pageant
$1,000.00 piece of jewelry
Evening gown
Crown, Crown Box, Sash, and Trophy
Hair and make-up products
11x14 portrait
We have also been working to increase our prize package for this year. I would like to encourage all eligible Junior and Miss contestants to enter our county pageant. This is an opportunity that should not be missed. Nervous?? Don't worry! We can help you prepare!!!
There are 2 other competitions that are held at the state fair for Mrs. ages 35-60 and senior Mrs. age 61 and older. With enough interest these divisions could be added as well as a division for 22-34. If you are interested in competing in those divisions or have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
