From traditional events like Harness racing and the annual Queen contest to newer events like ATV/Motocross Racing & Monster Trucks, no other fair in the region brings quite the variety, level of competition, or fun that the annual White County Fair does. We've got thundering hooves and serious horse power, incredible talent, smarts, humor and beauty, phenomenally powerful motors, cross county rivalries and delicious food. You'll leave the White County Fair with plenty of memories made on the midway!

7pm: White Co Fair Queen Contest - $5 admission

The White County Fair Queen Contests have enjoyed a resurgence of interest, participation and draws a full grandstand every summer. The 2019 winner, Kelsi Kessler, went on to win the state pageant in December and due to the pandemic reigned for two years. She passed the crown on to Alexis Conner who also represented the county brilliantly and last year's winner Payton Howard. Junior and Little Miss contestants will also strut their stuff.
