Ever wonder how Powell secured the land we all gather on for the county fair?

According to this vintage article from the Powell Tribune on February 11th, 1926. Big moves were happening in Washington to grant a 23-acre chunk of the Powell townsite over to Park County. Senator F.E. Warren was leading the charge with a bill to officially lock down the land for our county fairgrounds.

But it wasn't a total cakewalk—the public lands committee added a strict "use it or lose it" amendment. If the county failed to use the land for the fair, Uncle Sam could take it right back!

Fun historical nuggets from the page:

The original push started way back in October 1924 by the county commissioners in Cody.

The Shoshone Water users Association jumped on board in early 1925 to back the resolution.

It’s amazing to see the exact moment local history was being written. Who’s ready for the next Park County Fair?

A Century of Tradition, Right in Your Hands!

Back in the early 1900s, when the Park County Fair was first getting its start, the "Premium Book" was the golden ticket for every farmer, baker, and maker in the county. It was the guide that brought the community together—and some things never change!

We are keeping that tradition alive. The FREE Fair Premium Books are officially available!
