2022 Routt County Fair Events Calendar

The 2022 Routt County Fair will be held at the Routt County Fairgrounds in Hayden from Friday August 12th to August 21st.

This year’s show is bigger than ever and will feature a live country performance by Ned Ledoux. The show is under new management this year and Noel Neal, Exhibition Center Manager and Exhibition Coordinator, said she is looking forward to the upcoming events.

She added that poultry shows will feature stuffed animals to help prevent the spread of bird flu - unlike in years past - but it will still be an adorable photo op.

“We hope the community really enjoys it so we can continue to run the larger conference for years to come,” said Neal.
