Harvest Fair and Special Events Information:
Inbetween the Draft Horse performances, the Harvest Fair is bustling with activity. The Harvest Fair is an experience that can be enjoyed by kids and adults – and admission is free! Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the barns and meet the horses, taste the delicious Treat Street goodies, or sit and enjoy the live entertainment. With so much to see and do, there’s a little something for everyone at the Harvest Fair. Activities are on-going at the Fairgrounds during all four-days:

  • Western Trade Show
  • Treat Street Goodies
  • Clogging Jamboree
    Workshops and performances
  • Visit the Barns
    Be sure to visit the barns during your visit to the Classic. The barns are open throughout the event in between performances.  However, they become “back stage” during performances and for safety purposes are closed when the horses are heading back and forth to the arena shows.
  • Special Exhibits
    • The History Exhibit in the Northern Mines Building provides a flashback in time through vintage photographs!
    • Over in the lobby of the Main Street Center, the Pine Tree Quilters will have a beautiful display of quilts for viewing.
    • An exhibit of Early Day Gas Engines on The Green, across from the Railroad Exhibit, provides a glimpse of the evolution of American farming as agriculture moved away from relying on the Draft Horses to assist in the fields.
  • Produce Characters, Painted Pumpkins and Prizes!
    Visit the Floriculture Building to see exhibitors compete for cash awards and ribbons by showcasing their finest fruits, vegetables and crafts.
  • Classic Rib Cook-Off
    Whether you want to show off your cooking skills or simply join the fun and taste the treats—we’ve got it all in one place! More information
