We want to give a special THANK YOU to Osage Co-Op Elevator!! 🚜One of our very first tractor pull sponsors!

Their support has been part of our fair’s story for years, helping grow one of the most exciting and well loved events at the fair. Beyond the track, their continued dedication to our county fair, 4-H, and FFA programs has made a lasting impact on our community and youth.

It’s supporters like Osage Co-op Elevator who help keep traditions alive while building for the future. We are incredibly grateful for your loyalty and generosity over the years!

🎤✨ Meet the Voice of the Mitchell County Fair… Ronnie Pitzen✨🎤

For Ronnie, the Mitchell County Fair isn’t just an event… it’s a lifelong family tradition 💚
From growing up in a 4-H family to joining himself for 8 incredible years (1963–1970), Ronnie poured his heart into projects like dairy, horses, hogs, crops, gardening, and veterinary science. Even showing dairy at the county, district, and state levels 🐄🌽
But he didn’t stop there…
➡️ 25 years as a dedicated 4-H leader
➡️ Lifelong mentor to countless 4-H’ers
➡️ Proud dad of 4 sons (and now 5 grandkids!) continuing the tradition

The fairgrounds have heard his voice for over 20 years; announcing beef, hog, sheep, and chicken shows, and bringing energy to every moment. From judging peewee shows to serving as dairy superintendent, Ronnie truly does it all 🐖🐄🐑🐓
🏆 His impact hasn’t gone unnoticed:• Mitchell County Honorary 4-H Member• Inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame
And today, he’s known and loved as…
🎙️ “The Voice of the Mitchell County Fair” 🎙️

Thank you, Ronnie Pitzen for your dedication, passion, and the legacy you continue to build year after year. The fair wouldn’t be the same without you!
