Ribbons, prizes and SMILES All guaranteed at the Jefferson County Fair

Calling all parents and grandparents! Time to get your kids’ exhibits ready for “A Fair of the Heart,” the Jefferson County Fair, August 24-27, at the Jefferson County Recreation Park one-half mile south of Boulder. Every exhibit gets a ribbon and there are cash prizes for purple, heart and best in show ribbons. Fair events and contests include: 

• Chickens, art, photography, crafts, cooking, sewing, canning: you name it, we have a category for it or we will make one up. See the fair book for entry ideas. People can enter exhibits in the fair no matter where they live. 

• The kids’ horse show and rodeo, starting at 9 a.m. Friday, August 25. Due to limited arena space, only Jefferson County residents are eligible to enter. Don’t have a horse? No problem, come and watch the show for free.
