🤠 Why should weekends get all the attention?

The IPE runs all week long, but Wednesday and Thursday might just be the best entertainment deal around. 🐂🔥

Watch world-class cowboys and cowgirls compete in PRO action starting at just $25....About the same price as a night at the movies.

Sure, the weekend is incredible too… but why wait? Start your weekend early. 🏆

Throwback Thursday 🐄📸

From 1929 to today, livestock has always been at the heart of the IPE. Generations of exhibitors have spent countless early mornings, long days, and unforgettable moments showcasing their hard work, dedication, and passion for agriculture.

While the faces, fashions, and fairgrounds may have changed over the years, one thing remains the same, the pride of bringing your best to the fair.

125 years later, we’re still celebrating the people, animals, and traditions that make the IPE so special ❤️

PSA: your friends cannot “just grab tickets later” forever!

The dances run Friday to Sunday, and these nights have a habit of selling out early.

Last year, tickets were already getting scarce by June!

Text the group chat.
Make sure the whole crew has tickets.
Do not become a last-minute Larry.

It’s way more fun when everyone makes it through the doors and onto the dance floor together 🎶
