Every year the Fair Grounds in Sylvan Grove will come alive with 4-H exhibits, animal showings, a ranch rodeo, and even a demolition derby. This event brings people from all over the state to watch not only the amazing talent and creativity showcased in the exhibits but the showmanship and spectacular scenes that come with each one of the shows.
