🎡 THANK YOU, SEBEKA SUMMER SCHOOL! 🎡

We loved having the Sebeka Summer School students spend part of their day at the Wadena County Fair!

The students enjoyed playing BINGO, cooling off in the Foam Zone, watching 4-H shows, and exploring all the fun and educational opportunities the fair has to offer. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces enjoying a day filled with learning, agriculture, and community.

Thank you to the students, teachers, staff, and volunteers who made the visit possible. We hope everyone had a fantastic time and made some great memories at the fair!

We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again next year!

[[A Friendly Reminder]]

As you enjoy this year's fair, please remember that the Wadena County Fair is made possible by a dedicated group of volunteers. Countless hours have been spent over the past year planning, organizing, and preparing to bring this event to our community.

Our volunteers give their time because they care about the fair and want to create a great experience for everyone.
We kindly ask that you be patient, be respectful, and extend a little grace when things don't go perfectly.

If you see a volunteer during the fair, please take a moment to say thank you. A few kind words go a long way and mean more than you know

We appreciate your support and hope you have an amazing time at the fair! 🎡🎠🎟️❤️

🐄🐖🐑🐐🐇 Support the Future of Agriculture at the Blue Ribbon Youth Livestock Auction! 🐓🦆

Join us Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 9:00 AM in the Show Arena at the Wadena County Fairgrounds for the Blue Ribbon Youth Livestock Auction.

A light breakfast will be served beginning at 8:15 AM prior to the auction.

❓How does the auction work?

Youth exhibitors who earn a blue ribbon with their livestock project are eligible to participate in the auction. During the sale, bidders sponsor the youth and their project by placing bids as they enter the ring.

✅ You are bidding on the youth and their project.
✅ You do NOT take home the animal.
✅ 100% of your bid goes directly to the youth exhibitor.

The funds help young people continue their involvement in agriculture through future livestock projects, equipment purchases, educational opportunities, and savings toward their goals.

Your support makes a direct impact on the youth of Wadena County and helps grow the next generation of agricultural leaders.

For more information, contact BJ Horstmann at (218) 371-8046.

We hope to see you there as we celebrate and support our local youth exhibitors! 🌟
