The Gosper County
Fair is held in Elwood every year generally at the end of July. The town owns
its own carnival and volunteers from town work to host the fair and run the
rides, games and concession stand. People come from miles around to attend this
yearly event. Tickets currently cost $1 and other than food items each ride or
game is only one ticket.
In addition to the
carnival activities, there is a free concert on Thursday night, a rodeo on
Friday and Saturday nights. The American Legion hosts a food stand all day in
their building, which also houses the 4H exhibits and open class exhibits such
as photography, baked goods, and flower arrangements. The 4H holds their annual
animal judging and exhibitions.
Each year there is
a parade, one year it is a full parade with bands and floats, the next year it is
a childrens parade, and an annual mud volleyball tournament takes place on
Saturday.
The fair is located
on the southewest side of town near the water tower. Come join us for some old
fashioned fun.
