Fair Entrees Due July 15, Contests Planned

Roosevelt County Fair manager Angela Miller noted that anyone hoping to submit fair entrees this year will need to do so by July 15. Online entrees are due by July 17.

The Roosevelt County Fair is in Culbertson Aug. 9-13. The fair showcases local FFA, 4-H and open class exhibits.

Open class exhibit categories include sewing and handwork, home arts, food and nutrition, digital arts and floriculture and horticulture.

A Fair Hair contest is planned for Thursday on the main stage at 6 p.m. Categories for entry include full beard, dapper ‘stache, greatest goat, couples, build-abeard/ make-a-mullet, mullets, not a mullet (long hair) and grand champion for best overall.

The contests will be judged by local hair professionals. The judge’s decision is final. Prizes will be awarded. All mullets, beards and mustaches must be grown by the participant themselves. No fake hair, wigs, extensions or artificial hair will be accepted, with the exception of the build-a-beard/make-a-mullet category.

A Goat Fashion Show is set to follow the Sheep and Goat Livestock Show Aug. 11 and a Youth Color Contest is also planned.
