The Guthrie County Fair is underway through Monday, in Guthrie Center. As with other county fairs, due to the Covid-19 epidemic the fair board earlier this Summer, made the difficult decision to drastically scale back the 2020 Fair. Although the Fair is not be a full-scale production like it has in the past, there WILL BE:  livestock shows, camping, and some grandstand entertainment.  There is, NO carnival, the Art/Ag Hall will be closed, and the new Static building will be open intermittently. The Static Showcase in the new 4_H & FFA Education Center (Sept. 3rd-6th) takes from from 4:30-until 7-p.m. You’re invited to stop out and check out members’ Static projects and the new building.   All precautions will be taken to keep our visitors safe and healthy during their visit.  The Fair Board asks that you wash your hands frequently, use the sanitizer stations, and practice social distancing.

The Schedule includes: Friday Evening (Grandstand) – Rodeo; Saturday – Dog trials at the horse arena, Chainsaw artist, & Saturday evening Figure 8 races at the Grandstand; Sunday’s activities include a Bags Tournament, Dog Trials at the Horse Arena, and NAG races during the evening at the Grandstand.
