Reviews
It’s been over 20 years that I’ve been to the Bull Riding at the County Fair, and that was my last time I competed in the Pro Bull Riding. My hat goes off to all those Cowboys & Cowgirls who competed tonight!! Tonight brought a big smile to this old Cowboys face!!!!

Had a blast. Wonderful animals to pat and see. The very unhealthy carnival food was awesome. The rides for the kids were great.
K. Miller
This place was amazing. Everything was spread out and we didn’t feel crowded or rushed. People were helpful and nice. The corn was delicious. It was much better than the Frederick Co Fair in Virginia. We definitely will be back next year.

I went there for the 1st time because it’s an hour away for me to work a booth for my work, Bankers Life. I took my daughter as a learning experience as she is home schooled. While there we visited the 4h animals and had a great time working the booth. Everyone was friendly. And we would love to go back on a non business trip to ride the rides!
K. Hall
We had such a good time at the Jefferson Co fair. First time for all of us. The animals were well cared for, clean buildings and clean stalls, lots of rides, and so many food options and exhibits. We will definitely be back next year!

I moved away after my dad died, and moved back when I went through my divorce… this is the first year since that I went to the fair in Jefferson County and I have to say that it was excellent!! They had plenty of security, everyone was friendly, they had excellent food (Mountaineer Meat Smokers, and Pizza City)and excellent family atmosphere. Really made me feel like a kid again and at 48 with all my health issues that was a great feeling.
