About Woodford County Fair

The Woodford County Fair in Eureka celebrates a prosperous central Illinois county where corn, soybean, and hog farming on the flat Bloomington Morainic System soils produce exceptional yields, and where Eureka College — alma mater of Ronald Reagan — anchors a small county seat with national historical connections.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, grain and hog exhibits, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from Eureka and the surrounding Woodford County farming community.

Visitor Tips

Eureka College is where Ronald Reagan played football and acted before heading to Hollywood and then politics. The surrounding Woodford County cornfields are among Illinois most productive, and the county hog industry is a mainstay of the local agricultural economy.
