Fair in Jo Co hosts Parade and Rodeo events this weekend.
The much-anticipated 2025 Johnson County Fair is set to take place from July 26 to August 2 at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Gardner, Kansas. This annual event promises a week filled with rodeos, carnivals, animal shows, and auctions.
Saturday Highlights
The day kicks off with the Klondike Rush 5K/10K, a popular running event for participants of all ages. Later in the day, a Pancake Breakfast is scheduled, providing a delicious start to the evening's events. The main attraction of the evening is the Junior Livestock Sale, which will take place in the Show Ring.
The Rodeo Parade is another exciting event happening on Saturday, winding its way through the fairgrounds, adding a festive touch to the day.
Sunday Events
The Rodeo continues on Sunday, with the exact schedule to be found on the fair's official website or by contacting the organisers directly. The Dog Race Finals are also scheduled for Sunday, but the location has yet to be confirmed.
The Grandstands and both the Main Arena and Small Arena are likely venues for events on Sunday, given the Rodeo Slack was held in both arenas on Friday, and the Pie Contest was held under the grandstands on Friday. However, the 4-H/FFA Round Robin, Pie Contest, Rodeo Slack, Youth Rodeo, and Junior Livestock Sale are not scheduled for Sunday.
