COLLINSVILLE TRI-COUNTY FAIR The 70th annual Tri-County Fair is scheduled August 20 through 22 in downtown Collinsville. Special emphasis is being placed on this year’s livestock shows as many Oklahoma 4-H and FFA members will be bringing their prize livestock to compete for ribbons and premium money. Many first time exhibitors look forward to gaining experience in the show ring as they prepare for the larger fall fairs. Last year over 230 animals were exhibited by 4-H and FFA students from 30 Oklahoma communities. The West Main Event Center will be the location of several ‘indoor’ activities. A Youth Art Competition will be open to preschool through 18 years of age. Entry time is Thursday, Aug 20, 5-7 p.m. A Youth Baking competition (bring your favorite home baked cookies) will be open to 6 - 18 years of age. Entries will be accepted Thursday, Aug 20, 5-7 p.m. Ribbons and premium money will be awarded. This year we will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Tri County Fair with items of interest from previous fairs. A quilt display will be available for viewing so come vote for your favorite quilt among several different categories. Doors will be open to the public Friday and Saturday, 9-4 p.m. Thursday evening the Dog Show will be taking place in the livestock arena with entries being accepted at 6 p.m. and show time around 7 p.m. More information is available on cvilleok.com.
