Montgomery County Fair enters its 69th year Running April 9-19, and with a new event this year, the Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo’s main focus is to create “pathways and opportuni- ties for local youth to succeed,” Executive Director Tobin Redwine said. The big picture Founded in the ‘60s, the rodeo has now become a staple for the local Montgomery community, per its website. Faith at the Fair, which will feature faith-based artists, is the newest event. Why it matters Redwine said that the rodeo and fair would not be able to operate without community support. “Montgomery County is at a unique intersection of innovation ... and also connection to history and heritage that shows up in such a tangible way at the fair,” Redwine said.
Dates to know The county fair has a wide variety of events focused on youth to adults and families, including but not limited to: • April 8: Dos Chicas barrel race • April 10: Sunshine Day & ield trip • April 10-12: Youth and professional rodeo • April 12 : Ranch rodeo • April 12: Faith at the Fair • April 14: Pet parade • April 18: Kidz Contest, a junior BBQ contest
