THEY ARE ALL GONE!!!!

Thank you!!!

FREE STRAW BALES - FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!

As we continue tearing down from the 2026 Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo, we found ourselves with extra straw and would love to give it back to our community.

We have approximately 80 straw bales available FREE while supplies last.

Location: Behind the Wilco Barns, between Buildings B & C.

Hours:
Thursday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Friday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

A few things to know:

Please take whole bales only. We'd like to keep them intact.
Bring a truck or trailer and load them yourself.
We do not have a forklift available, so please do not ask. Our staff is still busy with Fair teardown.
Please take what you can reasonably haul and consider leaving some for others in the community to enjoy.

This is first come, first served, and once they're gone, they're gone!

We hope these bales can find a good home and be put to good use. Thank you for helping us keep them out of the landfill while giving back to our community!
