2013~A Family Affair With Country Flair
The Harney County Fair dates back to 1888 when the first such event was held. Each year the County Fair is held the week after Labor Day. This is a full blown event with the County Fair, NPRA Rodeo, ParaMutual Horse Racing, and amusement rides. Residents gather from all around Harney County for the week to show their 4H animals and participate in innumerable events at this big event. Many schools even take the week off as their students participate in the 4H judged events. For more Harney County Fair History visit our Fair History page.
We will have updated information posted here soon regarding our 2013 Harney County Fair.

Every day at the 2013 Harney County Fair, the Fair Board, the Senior Center, and the Hilander Booster Club will be teaming up for a program titled “Fairs Help Feed America”. We are asking all visitors that come to the Fair to bring non-perishable food items for a chance of winning numerous prizes in a drawing at the end of the Fair.
