About Elbert County Fair
The Elbert County Fair in Kiowa celebrates the "Hay Capital of Colorado" — Elbert County's high plains produce excellent drought-tolerant hay crops and support one of Colorado's strongest horse and livestock communities, and the county's rural character east of the Denver metro area contrasts sharply with the rapidly suburbanizing counties to the north and west.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, hay and equestrian exhibits, rodeo events, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from Elbert County's strong ranching and horse community.
Visitor Tips
Kiowa is the quiet county seat of a county that has resisted suburban development pressure through strict land use policies. The county's ranches and hay operations define one of the most authentically agricultural counties in the Denver metro region's eastern frontier.
