Hello,
Welcome to the 117th Inter-State Fair and Rodeo! We are pleased to bring you a jammed packed week of fun and entertainment with shows and events. The grandstand events will start Tuesday, August 13th with LJ Jenkins Bull Riding followed on Wednesday and Thursday nights with PRCA Rodeo. Freestyle Motocross returns to the ISFR on Friday, August 16, and we close out the weekend on Saturday with the ever-popular Demolition Derby.
Outside the grandstand on the midway Ottawa Carnival will be set up and running Tuesday through Saturday. Food and drinks of all sorts will be served by our concessionaires.
Starting at the first of the week our area kids are the spotlight with one of the area’s largest livestock shows. The kids work hard all year caring and showing Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, Chickens, Geese and Rabbits. A short walk away is the Coffeyville Recreation Building you can check out all the projects that the 4-H and FFA kids have worked on all year. On Monday night there is the bake sale where you can bid on all sorts of delicious items.
Special thanks to the Fair Association whose hard work all year makes it possible to put on an event like this for our community. Without each and everyone the Interstate Fair and Rodeo would not exist.
Thank You and I’m honored to be this year’s Inter-State Fair and Rodeo President and will see you at the fair!
Mike Bradley
2024 President
