Local Tips
Hillsboro is the county seat of one of the Red River Valley's most productive agricultural counties. The Red River forms the county's eastern boundary with Minnesota, and the valley's flat, deep topsoil — deposited by glacial Lake Agassiz — is among the most fertile farmland in the world.
What You'll Find There
Highlights include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, sugar beet and grain exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a Red River Valley fair.
The Fair
In Hillsboro, the Traill County Fair celebrates a Red River Valley county where the valley's glacial lake plain produces exceptional sugar beet, corn, and soybean crops — the county's flat, fertile farmland is some of the most productive in North Dakota, and the county's Norwegian and German immigrant heritage defines communities with strong agricultural education traditions.
