Sioux County Fair
Sponsored by the Sioux County Agricultural Society, the Sioux County Fair has been the place for friends and family to have fun for over 125 years. Each summer, the fair offers 4-H exhibits and livestock shows, an art show and a 5K race. Entertainment includes rodeos, a demolition derby and the ever-popular hog wrestling for brave souls willing to jump in a mud pit and attempt the feat. There are also plenty of opportunities to eat at a free barbecue and pancake feed, and you can satisfy your sweet tooth at the pie and ice cream social.
