About Perkins County Fair

The Perkins County Fair in Bison celebrates a northwest South Dakota county where short-grass prairie cattle ranching on vast native grass pastures and the Grand River National Grassland define one of the most remote communities in the Great Plains.

What to Expect

Expect a small fair with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the authentic frontier spirit of a remote northwest South Dakota ranching county.

Visitor Tips

Bison is a tiny county seat in the short-grass prairie. The Grand River National Grassland protects native prairie and bison habitat. The county borders North Dakota and the surrounding landscape is among the most intact native grassland remaining in the Great Plains.
