Thank you, Opportunity Series, for another wonderful year! We loved welcoming you, your participants, families and horses to the Orleans County Fairgrounds throughout the season. Your shows bring so much energy and excitement to our grounds, and we are grateful you continue to make them your home.

Mother Nature may have brought the season to a soggy and unexpected end, but she certainly cannot cancel all the great memories made along the way! Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic year. We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating at the banquet, and we look forward to welcoming you back next season!

This morning was a little..."weathery" - wind and rain, trees and lines down throughout the county. With weather conditions that bring the potential of hail, flooding, or even a tornado, having a bit of warning is helpful. And even though you follow us here, and we do our best to get warnings posted, your social media may not always be open.

You can get real-time text alerts! Text 333111 with the message ORLEANS

If you aren't a resident in Orleans County, that's ok! just switch Orleans for the county you do reside in.

A colorful new addition made its way onto the fairgrounds during this year’s Orleans County 4-H Fair!

Artist Jaylah Sherman, who also painted our Little Free Library in June, was originally scheduled to begin refreshing the historic giant apple pie tin during fair week. After assessing the project, we determined that additional equipment would be needed to complete the work safely.

The pie tin refresh is still planned and will move forward once the proper equipment is in place. Follow this page or GO ART! for updates as the project gets underway!

In the meantime, Jaylah brought their talents to the back of the Lartz Commercial Exhibit Building and created this beautiful barn quilt mural!

We love seeing Jaylah’s artwork continue to brighten the fairgrounds. Now visitors have another colorful piece to enjoy, with even more to look forward to when the giant pie tin receives its new look!
