NOTE FROM THE FREMONT COUNTY FAIR: We are SO sorry to have to share this news, but, the Carnival that was booked for June 1 - 4 is not able to make it this year. They are unable to get enough workers to run the carnival and bring and set up rides. WE DO HOWEVER HAVE A CARNIVAL COMING JULY 20 - 23! THIS WILL BE OUR BIG CARNIVAL OF THE YEAR! I have been promised this will be a big blowout year and an amazing carnival. If you have purchased tickets for the carnival on June 1-4, we will either exchange your tickets for the July Carnival or refund your money at the Fair Office beginning on Wednesday, June 1. This will allow us time to get the ticket counts in and prepare for exchange or refunds. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time. We will still have some fun events going on the 3- 5 please join us for some fun!
