97th annual Whitley County 4-H Fair set for July 16-23

The Whitley County 4-H Fair is held every year in July in Columbia City, Indiana just off US Highway 30, just minutes from Fort Wayne, Huntington, and Warsaw.

The 4-H Fair showcases the talents of Whitley County youth.

Check out the exhibits, competitions, livestock, food and grandstand entertainment.

The 4-H Fair highlights the heritage of our community, its ties to agriculture, industry, and businesses that are the back bone of the community.

After a year of uncertainty and scaled back events, we are excited to be able to plan a full week of fair activities.

There a couple of big changes this year.

The first is that we have extended the length of the fair by one day, so the fair will run July 16 through the livestock auction on July 23.

The second is on Thursday morning, we will have a 4-H Livestock show specifically for the mini 4-H members who are participating in the livestock mini-mentor program.

We have changed the traditional dates of a few of the livestock shows, so watch for the full schedule so you do not miss those changes.

All of our livestock shows and entertainment events are being planned to be open to the public in 2021!!

Entertainment events are always a great way to unwind at the end of a busy day at the fair.

This year’s events include:

• Friday Night - Tough Truck Contest

• Saturday Night – Demolition Derby -- Promoter: Getting Junked Promotions (Mini-van, Windshield, and Stock Classes)

• Sunday Afternoon – Antique Tractor Pull put on by the Whitley County Ag Museum and Learning Center

• Sunday Night – IPL Sanctioned 4WD Truck and Tractor Pull (2 Truck Classes and 2 Tractor Classes)

• Monday Night – TBC (The Band Cheyenne) Concert – Free will donation

• Tuesday Night – Farmer Olympics Peg Perego Tough Track Contest, and Mini 4-H Extravaganza.

• Wednesday Night – Powderpuff Demo Derby and Pre-ran Demo Derby

Local vendors are excited to be back in our commercial building, and don’t forget to stop in and check out the Ag Museum and Learning Centers, as well as the antique tractor display.

Admission to the 4-H Fair is free and there is no charge for parking.
