Specialty Crop

Specialty-crop-related entries in the open divisions include ones in fresh fruits and vegetables; fresh and dried herbs and spices; canned fruits such as jellies, jams, and preserves; honey-preserved foods; canned vegetables, including pickles and relishes; pies, including fruit; and floriculture, including cut flowers. There are numerous other open-class divisions (see the fair book on the website for complete list).

Additionally, there are many divisions for 4-H, including ones directly tied to specialty crops, including gardening & horticulture, and food & nutrition. There are also many contests open to FFA members, including vegetables. 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 Big Horn County Fair, held annually in late July and early August, also offers a wide variety of other events and activities, including family fun night; Big Horn Bash Jackpot Show; rodeo; demolition derby; stock dog trials; parade; bingo; community breakfast; buyer’s luncheon; junior livestock sale; beef, sheep, swine, goat, poultry, rabbit, and dog shows; and halter, English and Western performance, trail & programmed ride, and peewee equitation.
