Champaign County Fair 
The Champaign county fair is the largest Junior Fair "livestock" fair in the state.  No other Ohio fair has more junior fair livestock than the Champaign county fair.  Below are some of the numbers from the 2004 fair:
  • Swine                         976 head
  • Horses/Ponies         197 head
  • Beef                            178 head
  • Dairy                           141 head
  • Sheep                         268 head
  • Rabbits                      357 head
  • Poultry                        244 pens
  • Goats                          106 head
  • Llamas/Alpacas         12 head
  • Cavies                          78 head


     The county fair is operated by the County Agricultural Society with assistance from the OSU Extension Office and the county Agricultural Educators (FFA advisors). 

Livestock is not the only junior fair projects exhibited.  Non-livestock projects are also plentiful.  We had 866 non-livestock projects exhibited at the 2004 fair. These include clothing, food-nutrition, creative arts, woodworking, aerospace, conservation, gardening and many other project areas. 

     The Champaign county fair remains a traditional rural county fair.  The County Agricultural Society works hard to maintain the traditional rural flavor while providing modern fair facilities. Next year's Champaign County Fair dates are:
