About Rock Creek Fall Fair
’Twas 1946 when the Rock Creek Fall Fair began, and from there on it became an annual event. It started off as only one day of celebration and now it has extended to two days with the help of volunteers in the community.
This year marks the 71st annual Rock Creek Fall Fair and the expected crowd is 9,000-10,000 people.
This year’s event will feature:
- Agricultural exhibits of fresh produce
- Arts, Hobbies and Crafts displays
- Various race and competitions
- Live musical entertainment
- Maze Game
- Animals shows
- Horse events
- Carnival and Rides
- Food Vendors
- Commercial Vendors
- Educational Lectures
- and other interactive activities
Communities in Rock Creek find strength in its agricultural roots, livestock, horticulture, and needlecrafts through the 4H program.
The venue for the fair has evolved from the very first one at the community hall in the highway to the 60 acres of land it is occupying now, complete with a pavilion building, an arena, and a barn.
