We already have a few tractors that have started the antique tractor display for the Allen County Fair.

Remember, registration is a self check-in process, look for a sign in sheet and placard cards in the box.

We would really appreciate if all tractors were set in place before the fair starts on Tuesday morning. As a thank you, those displaying a tractor will get six free passes to the fair and a big thank you from the kids that enjoy seeing all the tractors on display!

We take a moment to honor this significant day in American history. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. Most Allen County offices are closed today in recognition of the holiday. We’ll be back on Monday, June 22, 2026.

What better way to start the Allen County Fair than with Ag Day. This day is crammed full of education and agriculture. Special thanks to David Kohli, John Cavanaugh and Rob Winters for their Ag Market Outlook.

All are welcome. This is a free event.

It is International Picnic Day! Make memories with your friends and family!!!

🌳🧺 Happy International Picnic Day!

You don’t need perfect weather or a big event to make the day special. A picnic can be at the park, in your backyard, on the living room floor, or even around the kitchen table.

Sharing a meal, talking, laughing, and spending time together help build strong family connections. Close connections are one of the most important protective factors that help young people make healthy choices and stay substance-free.

So, pack a lunch, grab a blanket, or create an indoor picnic adventure and make some memories together today. 💙

On top of the large selection of "fair food" that is available during the Allen County Fair, you can also find our Service Meals located in the Home & Family Arts Building.

Prepared and served by local nonprofit organizations, these meals are more than just good food—they're fundraisers that support important work in our community.

Enjoy a meal in the air conditioning while supporting a great cause.

Just coming for the meal? No gate admission is required. Simply enter through the West Gate and request a meal pass.
