Passenger vehicles will not be permitted to use the Stockman’s Gate for entry or parking, as that gate will be used for livestock trailers only Parking for all others will be in the general parking area, which is accessible from Fair Avenue.

The crowning of the 2020 Butler County Fair queen and king, Madeline Kidd and Justin Beckner, was “very different than we’ve ever had before,” Turner said. That’s why we’ve asked for donations and help financially.” “Doing the junior fair show is going to cost us money, it’s not going to make us money. “Where we make our money is with the open class shows and the rides and games and events in the grandstands,” he said. Mike DeWine signing an executive order last month giving all fairs $50,000 each in state money, “it’s a drop in the bucket” compared to what the fair needs to sustain itself, Turner said. Those features won’t help the fair make up for financial losses. ![]()
