Horse Show & Parking Update

The Open Class Horse Shows scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are ON as planned!

However, due to the overwhelming amount of rain at the Wright County Fairgrounds, horse event parking has been relocated to the WEST side of the fairgrounds, near the antique tractor pull track.

We recommend coming in from County Road 6 at the Water Tower Gate, head west into the fairgrounds to the far west end and park near the antique tractor pull then walk your horse to the horse barns following the gravel road to lower horse.

From the South Entrance on 13th Ave, go northwest into the grounds to the far west end and park near the antique tractor pull then walk your horse to the horse barns following the gravel road to lower horse.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to make the fair safe and enjoyable for everyone!
