A Closer Look
Every year, Fossil hosts the Wheeler County Fair, which is one of Oregon's most remote county fairs, celebrating the fossil-rich high desert ranching heritage of north-central Oregon over four days each August.
Fair Highlights
Expect livestock judging, 4-H exhibits, rodeo action, and the intimate community atmosphere of one of Oregon's least-populated counties.
Planning Your Visit
Fossil is literally built on dinosaur-era fossils — you can dig for leaf fossils in the hillside behind the high school. A truly unique Oregon fair destination.
