Things are really coming together at the Story County Fairgrounds as we prepare for fair season!

We’ve had a lot of great activity happening around the grounds, from improvements and clean-up projects to getting buildings refreshed and ready for exhibitors and guests.

A big THANK YOU to our amazing volunteers who spent time painting the panels in the Bob Williams Arena and freshening up the Rabbit and Poultry Barn. Your hard work makes a huge difference and helps keep our fairgrounds looking great for everyone who visits! 👏

We also want to extend a special thank you to RJ Electric for installing new LED lights and taking care of a few important fixes around the fairgrounds — we truly appreciate your support! 💡
