As we bring the 111th Phillips County Fair to a close, the Phillips County Fair Board would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, entered an exhibit, purchased an animal, or simply came out to enjoy the Fair.

An event like this takes the dedication of many people, not only during Fair weekend, but throughout the entire year. Thank you to our grounds crew, county commissioners and employees, 4-H and FFA members and families, livestock judges and sale buyers, Open Class superintendents, judges and exhibitors, food vendors, sponsors, event organizers, ticket takers, security personnel, b**r gardens, cleanup crews, and the countless employees and volunteers who stepped in wherever help was needed.

There are far more people who contributed than we could ever name individually, but please know that every hour worked, task completed, donation made, and helping hand offered was noticed and appreciated.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came through the gates and supported the events, exhibitors, vendors, and young people who make the Phillips County Fair so special.

It truly takes a community to bring the Fair together each year, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make Montana’s longest-running fair a success once again.

Thank you for a wonderful 111th Phillips County Fair. We’ll see you next year for the 112th!

As we bring the 111th Phillips County Fair to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the sponsors, local businesses and volunteers who helped make this year’s fair possible! ❤️

From financial sponsorships and donated supplies to equipment, time and countless helping hands, your generosity and support made a difference in every part of the fair.

The people and donations pictured here represent only a small portion of those who contributed. There were so many volunteers working behind the scenes throughout the week, and while we may not have captured everyone in a photo, please know how deeply grateful we are for each and every one of you.

It truly takes a community to make the Phillips County Fair happen. Thank you for showing up, pitching in and helping us celebrate 111 years of this special tradition! 🎡🐴🌾

This year, the Phillips County Fair completed a new office at the fairgrounds. We are honored to dedicate this building to the memory of Cathy Bear, who faithfully served as grounds manager from 2005 through 2018.

For 13 years, Cathy gave her time, energy, and heart to the Phillips County Fair. Her steady presence, generous spirit, and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on our fairgrounds and throughout our community.

Cathy’s life was devoted to serving others. As an educator, mentor, mother, grandmother, friend, and fairgrounds manager, she cared deeply for the people around her and offered her encouragement and support freely. The many lives she touched are a reflection of her kindness, patience, and unwavering belief in others.

We hope this dedication serves as a lasting reminder of Cathy’s contributions to the Phillips County Fair and the important place she will always hold in its history.

It is with gratitude and affection that we dedicate the new Phillips County Fair Office to the memory of Cathy Bear. ❤️

It takes a village! ❤️

As the Phillips County Fair begins to wind down, our volunteers and 4-H and FFA parents are still hard at work taking down tents and putting everything away.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, pitched in and helped make this year’s fair possible. We couldn’t do it without you! 🍀💙💛

It may be a little warm outside, but thanks to a swamp cooler generously donated by Columbia Grain, the barns are staying at a much more manageable temperature! ☀️🐄🐖🐑🐐

The animals are still feeling the heat a little right now, but this evening will be the perfect time to visit as the sun goes down and everything cools off. Come to the Phillips County Fairgrounds, grab some dinner and take one last walk through the barns to see all of the animals our hardworking 4-H and FFA exhibitors brought to the fair this year!

Tonight is your last chance before the animals head home! 🌅🍔🍦
