The Lewis Ranch Livestock Pavilion and Arena is open for fairgoers to visit each day during the fair. Here visitors will be able to get a close view of all livestock that have been entered in the fair. These animals have received the utmost care and love from their owners in preparation for this event.
The Faulkner County Fair hosts some the best animals that you will see anywhere. Our exhibitors, with the support of their agriculture instructors and 4-H leaders, have put many hours of hard work in to bring these animals to the fair. The Faulkner County Fair Board of Directors would like to congratulate each one of them on the job they have done. We also thank Lewis Ranch for their support of the Faulkner Count Fair.
