About Mountrail County Fair
The Mountrail County Fair in Stanley celebrates a north-central North Dakota county where the Bakken oil formation, the Fort Berthold Reservation's western reaches, and the Cannonball River's headwaters define a county whose economy has been transformed by oil production while maintaining its wheat and cattle ranching heritage.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, wheat exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Stanley community and the county's oil and farming families.
Visitor Tips
Stanley sits near the White Earth River in a county where oil derricks now dot the same fields where wheat once grew exclusively. The Lake Sakakawea shoreline provides fishing and recreation, and the county's proximity to the Three Affiliated Tribes' lands reflects the region's Indigenous heritage.
