Fair season has long been a staple in Larimer County, with the Larimer County Fair as the central event in our community. The Larimer County Fair hosts live music and entertainment, rodeo, 4-H and the Fair Parade. Looking back with help from our friends at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, some of these summer favorites have been a constant over the years. Just take a look at these historic Larimer County Fair images to see for yourself.
