About Traverse County Fair

The Traverse County Fair in Wheaton celebrates Minnesota most western county on the South Dakota border where Lake Traverse and the Bois de Sioux River define the boundary, and spring wheat and sunflower farming sustain a small community on the Red River Valley approach.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, wheat and sunflower exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a remote western Minnesota agricultural county.

Visitor Tips

Wheaton sits near Lake Traverse on the South Dakota border. The Bois de Sioux River flowing north from Lake Traverse eventually joins the Red River. The Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge nearby protects critical wetland habitat.
