Spring Fair Entry Deadline and other Randomness

I hope everyone had a good weekend and a fantastic Memorial Day. Ours were full of family fun and some had graduations. First off congratulations to all the Fremont County graduates! And huge thank you to all the men and women who served and are serving our country, you have served our country and continue to serve to ensure our freedom and our gratitude doesn’t seem like enough but just know that you are appreciated. 

One way the Fremont County Fair is showing our appreciation for our country’s military is complimentary admission for military personnel for the PRCA Rodeo Monday July 27th. More information will come up when the date gets closer so be on the lookout for that!

We would also like to send our deepest condolences to the family of the little girl who was struck and killed Friday. It is a very sad day whenever anyone is lost, especially when they are young. Again, the Fremont County Fair is very sorry for the loss of a family member and friend to anyone who knew Sophia Archer.  

Now to turn our attention to the Spring Fair!... There are only 8 days until Spring Fair and 7 days until entry deadline.

If you haven’t already, be sure to get your entries into the fair office before next Tuesday 5 p.m.!

Events will start June 3rd with the North Star Amusements carnival and livestock shows. Times and shows will be in our blog next week so stay tuned for that!

We have also decided to try out hashtags this summer for Spring Fair and Fair. I have come up with a few but they all seem a little generic and a lot of other pages use them when you search those hashtags. We would like to come up with a few cool and unique hashtags for Spring Fair and Fair.

We are thinking of having some competitions during these two events that have to do with hashtags and the best post that is attached to a hashtag that we come up with.

If you guys have any ideas or suggestions for some cool and unique hashtags for us to use either during the Spring Fair or Fair comment on here or on our Facebook page and let us know!

Stay tuned for our blog next week! And be sure to check us out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram if you haven't already!

Fremont County's the Voice

There are 15 days left till Spring Fair, so we are busy in preparations for that fun event the beginning of June!

One exciting event that will be at this year’s Spring Fair is a singing competition. This year instead of having people get a hold of the Fair Office, there will be a little competition to decide who all gets to sing the National Anthem at the night shows during Fair, July 25- August 1.

Fremont County’s the Voice, will be June 6th at 6 in the evening. The location has yet to be decided but it will probably be in the Fremont Center here at the Fremont County Fairgrounds. (Be on the lookout for the exact location! It will be posted once it’s decided) There is also a judging fee of $5, you can bring this the day of the competition.

Anyone is welcome to enter the competition. They will sing the National Anthem for judges, and the judges will then decide who all gets to sing at one of the night shows.

There are 8 night shows so that means there are also 8 people who can sing for those nights.  

Fremont County’s the Voice is a new event and will let anyone have the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a Fair night show who hasn't before and didn't know how to have the chance to do so in the past.

We are very excited for this competition and look forward to hearing all the contestants sing!

Stay tuned for next week’s blog!
