Organizers say there is always room for more, and they will be glad to teach you how to play. They play for quarters on Wednesday and Friday.

Another year of the Guthrie County Fair is now complete.  Although heavy rains Sunday afternoon into Monday morning brought soggy conditions that altered the schedule of some events, the fair was again a success.

One of the annual highlights of the fair is the crowning of the next year’s fair queen. Nora Langgaard was crowned 2027 Queen with Maci Bauer as first runner-up and Meranda Gruber as second runner-up. Other candidates were Ruanne Brinker, Jamie Fronapfel and Laurin Davis. Congratulations to all six candidates.
