Specialty Crop

Specialty-crop-related entries in the Open classes include ones in crops, fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs; canned fruits such as jellies, jams, and preserves; canned vegetables, including pickles and relishes; cooking with honey; and floriculture, including cut flowers. There are also a variety of other Open classes including homemade pies.

Additionally, there are many contests for 4-H, including ones directly tied to specialty crops, including gardening & horticulture, and food & nutrition. There are also many contests for FFA members. 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 Washakie County Fair, held annually in late July, also offers a wide variety of other events and activities, including a parade; Open rodeo and kids rodeo; concerts; Open class beef cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, and rabbits; ‘Strutt Your Mutt’ community dog show; royalty contest; and others.
