PIKETON — The 2026 Pike County Fair is just around the corner!

Pike County 4-H Educator Joy Bauman says, “One of the things we’re excited about this year are the improvements in our rabbit, poultry, lamb, and goat barns. We’ve added a lot of new pens in the rabbit and poultry end, we’re adding big fans to circulate the air, and then we’ve got some new shade cloth that’s supposed to block out, like, 90% of the sun that’s coming in and hopefully that will help with the heat stress for the animals in that barn.”

Bauman also invites the community to participate in this year’s livestock sales. On Friday, July 31st at 5:30pm are the steer, goat, lamb, and hog sales; followed by rabbit and poultry sales at 10am on Saturday, August 1st.

While the Pike County Fair opens on July 24th, opening ceremonies are set to take place on Sunday, July 26th at 5pm.
