Teton County Fair

Specialty-crop-related entries in the Open classes include Farm to Fork (vegetables and herbs),

Flower Garden (cut flowers and artistic arrangements), The Bakery (pies and other baked goods), Food Preservation (jellies, jams, marmalades, pickles, relishes, and spirits), and Backyard Farm (eggs, honey, and fiber).

Additionally, there are many contests for 4-H, including livestock shows and ones directly tied to specialty crops, including gardening & horticulture, and food & nutrition. Those participating in the Open, FFA, and 4-H contests can compete at the state fair, and prizes are awarded at both the county and state levels.

The Teton County Fair, held annually in late July, also offers a wide variety of activities, including barrel racing, horse shows, team sorting, team branding, trail/obstacle course, western pleasure, concerts, magic shows, yard games, petting zoo, medieval jousting show, rodeo, livestock sale, figure 8 races, and many others. New to the fair is the Winged Wonders Butterfly Exhibit, a live butterfly display.
