What to Expect
Championship livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits from across the state, a large carnival midway, nationally known concert acts, demolition derbies and motorsports, commercial and craft vendors, competitive cooking and baking, and an exceptional lineup of Arkansas fair foods. The ten-day run offers something new each visit.
