112th Wyoming State Fair: Wyoming’s premier summer event sees another year
The 112th Wyoming State Fair (WSF) wrapped up another successful year, drawing a large crowd of livestock exhibitors, ag enthusiasts and visitors from all walks of life to Douglas on Aug. 13-17.
Among many familiar favorites – thrilling carnival rides, fresh-squeezed lemonade, a variety of shopping opportunities on the Midway and barns full of some of the best livestock in the West – the 2024 WSF brought back a few popular attractions from last year and debuted some others.
For the first time, fairgoers had the opportunity to document and share their state fair experiences using a fun and free photo backdrop; celebrate the Cowboy State’s rich natural resources through the new Resources of Wyoming campaign; taste a variety of delicious eats through Fair Food Flights and witness spectacular entertainment at the Sea Lion Splash Show.
Additionally, the 2024 WSF saw the return of the ever-popular Wyoming Ranch Rodeo Finals; the crowd-pleasing $10,000 Figure-8 Race; the new and improved, stand-alone Champion of Champions Showcase and World Champion Mutton Bustin’.
And, at the heart of the hustle and bustle, youth and open livestock exhibitors finally had the chance to show off months of hard work, responsibility and dedication.
