Sioux County Youth Fair Concludes On Saturday

This young girl who was participating in the Sioux County Youth Fair’s Children’s Tractor Peddle Pull had a determined look on her face as she peddled the tractor pulling the weight sled.  She was able to go the distance.

(Sioux Center) — The Sioux County Youth Fair is winding down with Saturday being the last day for exhibitions. The fair grounds received nearly a couple inches of rain on Friday, but according to Craig De Haan, president of the Sioux County Youth Fair, that hasn’t stopped visitors from enjoying the fair’s activities.

De Haan says this year’s fair have a number of quality exhibits from 4-H members. He says the number of exhibits have been holding steady.

The Sioux County Youth Fair president highlights the activities scheduled for this final day of the fair.

Admission is free to the fairgrounds, but De Haan says the tractor pull at the grandstand is $10, but the Lock and Loaded musical concert is free. De Haan encourages everyone to begin their day with a hearty breakfast at the fairgrounds, and then enjoy the livestock judging shows.

The fair grounds may be moving to a different location. De Haan says the city of Sioux Center has approached the Sioux County Fair Board asking if they would consider selling the ground.

Monday is the final day for the Sioux County Youth Fair. There are no exhibits or judging for that day, but De Haan says the popular premium ribbon auction does take place.
