The 2025 Warren County Fair begins July 23rd, with five days of grandstand events, 4H and FFA exhibits, food, entertainment, and more. Fair Director Jo Reynolds tells KNIA News this year’s fair is bigger and better than ever, and she is still overwhelmed each year by the hard work and determination by students showing animals or exhibits that are the biggest part of the fair.

“Those animals are just a vessel, because we are raising the kid. I think it teaches them so many values, responsibility, dedication, because they have to give that to that animal to show it to its best potential. There are hours spent in that barn for those kids that really want to have an animal looking in its tip-top shape. I couldn’t even tell you how many hours those kids spend in the barn, and it’s worth it.”
