What to Know
Every year, Hailey hosts the Blaine County Fair, which celebrates Sun Valley country — Blaine County contains America's first destination ski resort (Sun Valley, opened 1936) and the artist colony of Ketchum where Ernest Hemingway spent his final years, and the county's Wood River valley hay farms and sheep ranching operations come together with resort and arts communities at a fair of distinctive character.
Before You Go
Sun Valley's Dollar Mountain and Bald Mountain ski areas and the resort village define one of America's premier winter destinations. Ketchum's Ernest Hemingway Memorial and the Wood River Land Trust's conservation easements protecting the valley's pastoral landscape reflect a community that values both heritage and the arts.
On the Midway
The fair features livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, sheep and wool exhibits reflecting the Wood River valley's pastoral heritage, local artisan food vendors, and a fair drawing from both the ranching and resort communities of the Wood River valley.
