The Oldest Fairs in Wyoming

Wyoming's oldest fair is the Central Wyoming Fair & Rodeo in Casper, running since 1904 — fourteen years after Wyoming became a state in 1890. The Wyoming State Fair in Douglas followed just a year later in 1905, with the Laramie County Fair in Cheyenne (1909) rounding out the state's oldest fairs. Here are Wyoming's fairs with the longest documented histories.
