Thank You!

What an incredible Fair & Rodeo season!

The Gem County Fair Board would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community, sponsors, volunteers, exhibitors and fans who continue to make the Gem County Fairgrounds such a special place.

From the countless hours spent preparing behind the scenes to the families filling the grounds, businesses investing in our events and fans cheering from the grandstands, this truly takes a community.

Your support allows us to continue improving our facilities, creating opportunities for local youth and carrying on the traditions that make Gem County home.

Thank you for showing up, supporting local and being part of another unforgettable year.

We’re already looking forward to what’s next!

Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors!
