About Eastland County Livestock Show
Held each summer in Eastland, the Eastland County Fair celebrates the ranching and oil heritage of a county famous for "Old Rip," the horned lizard said to have survived 28 years encased in the Eastland County courthouse cornerstone, in the rolling cedar and mesquite country of West Central Texas. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1928.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair in the cedar-covered hills and oil patch country between Fort Worth and Abilene.
Visitor Tips
