About Decatur County Fair

The Decatur County Fair in Oberlin celebrates northwest Kansas wheat country on the Nebraska border, where the Last Indian Raid in Kansas (1878) by Northern Cheyenne warriors is commemorated at the Decatur County Museum, and the county's wheat and cattle operations sustain small communities in the Solomon River country of the high plains.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, wheat exhibits, rodeo events, and the small-county community spirit of a northwest Kansas agricultural fair.

Visitor Tips

Oberlin's Decatur County Last Indian Raid Museum tells the story of the final Cheyenne raid on Kansas settlements in 1878. The county's Buffalo Bill's alma mater connections and the Solomon River valley's agricultural heritage reflect the history of frontier Kansas.
