Jefferson County Fair and Rodeo

Thursday, August 23, 2012 - Sunday, August 26, 2012

A Fair of the Heart, old fashioned county fair in beautiful rural Montana. Live music, exhibits, contests, concessions and carousel on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday there is a parade at noon, baked goods auction, barbecue and barn dance. Fun for the whole family. Thursday is the In-County Rodeo with contestants from Jefferson County and Friday is the Bi-County Rodeo with contestants from Jefferson and Lewis and Clark. Saturday and Sunday is the action packed NRA-rodeo that brings the top contestants from all over to compete on professional rodeo stock. A thrill for all rodeo fans. Good food, cold drinks and fun.
