The published 2026–2027 season schedule lists Tuesday evenings from 6–9 p.m., Thursday evenings from 7–9 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; check for changes before arriving.

Getting to Logan County Fairgrounds

Driving directions

Sterling is the county’s main service center, and the fairgrounds are reached from Pawnee Avenue. Visitors travelling from Denver can take Interstate 76 northeast toward Sterling. From Fort Morgan, continue northeast on I-76; from northeastern Colorado communities, use the connecting state highways and local roads toward Sterling.

The fairgrounds address is 1120 Pawnee Avenue. During fair week, follow temporary traffic signs and staff directions rather than assuming the usual entrance or parking arrangement will remain unchanged.

Public transit, dedicated fair shuttles, and designated rideshare pickup points should be confirmed before travelling. The grounds provide disability-access parking along Pawnee Avenue, and the grandstands have a ramp entrance and accessible seating options.

4-H and FFA at Logan County Fairgrounds

The Logan County Fair Board works alongside Colorado State University Extension and local agricultural educators to coordinate youth activities. The fair’s 4-H and FFA program includes livestock exhibitions, general projects, horse events, dog competitions, and the junior livestock sale.

Junior livestock sale

The Bud Van Berg Memorial 4-H and FFA Junior Livestock Sale gives eligible youth exhibitors an opportunity to sell qualifying market animals to buyers. Buyers should consult the current sale information for registration, bidding, payment, and animal destination procedures.

The number of active 4-H clubs and the current list of participating FFA chapters can change. Families should contact the Extension office for local enrollment information and the requirements for entering the fair.

Special Events Beyond the Annual Fair

Logan County Fairgrounds supports more than the summer fair. Its buildings and arena are available for public use, subject to booking and facility rules.

Recurring or listed fair-related attractions have included:

• Professional bull riding and PRCA rodeo performances.
• Youth rodeo and roping events.
• Demolition derby.
• Concert entertainment.
• Horse shows and open riding.
• Craft fairs, home and trade shows, flea markets, and agricultural demonstrations.

Visitors exploring Logan County Colorado Fairgrounds Events can also discover community gatherings through Lincoln County Colorado Fairgrounds Events. Exploring both counties provides opportunities to learn about regional heritage, discover seasonal activities, and enjoy community celebrations throughout Colorado.

The county also lists weddings, dances, family reunions, and other community gatherings among potential facility uses. A particular event should be treated as confirmed only when its organizer publishes a date and venue.

History of Logan County Fairgrounds

The Logan County Fair and Rodeo has a long-standing role in the agricultural life of northeastern Colorado. The annual program combines livestock competition and youth education with rodeo, entertainment, commercial exhibits, and community activities.

The Logan County Fair Board manages fair planning, while county staff oversee buildings and grounds. Fair Board meetings provide a public forum for reviewing event arrangements, facilities, entertainment contracts, and youth-program matters.

The county’s current facilities include an indoor Exhibit Center, North Arena, RV area, and event buildings. A verified founding year for the present grounds, original construction dates, attendance records, and a complete history of cancellations have not been established here. County archives and past fair books are the best places to verify those details.
