Laclede County Fair

Did you know that the Laclede County Fair is a Non-Profit Organization?

This means we operate solely on sponsorships and volunteers.

We have approximately 75+ volunteers that come together to make this fair possible. This year, we have 85 businesses and individuals who have sponsored our fair to help make it a success.

We would not be able to operate without the support of our community, and we are so thankful to have so many helpful and thoughtful people in our community who are always willing to help out - whether that is lending a hand or giving a monetary contribution.

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing and mentioning our sponsors for the 2026 Laclede County Fair.

To start us off, I want to give a HUGE shoutout to National Tv Sales & Rental, who has been a major sponsor for the LCF for the past several years.

Livestock Exhibitors:

You have 2 weeks left - until July 1st - to pre-register your animals on Showman. All entries must be done online.

Showman | Online Livestock Show Management Showman is show management software made for livestock shows. Featuring a cloud based solution for online entries, payments and set of tools that help show day run smoothly.
