The first Outagamie County Fair was held in Seymour in 1885 and was a place for local farmers to showcase their cattle and crops. By the 1960's big name entertainment was the main draw as Roger Miller and Frank Sinatra performed in front of a packed grandstand. The list of entertainers over the next 3 decades was as impressive and included The Osmonds, George Jones and Willie Nelson, but the Fair Association never lost sight of their mission. The mission to provide a place for the youth of Outagamie County to showcase their skills in raising and showing animals, crafts, crops and products.

Today the Outagamie County Fair Association Board continues to work to insure that this Fair can continue its theme of Great Tradition, Great Family Entertainment and Great Experience for Youth.

The Outagamie County Fair is organized and operated by the Outagamie County Fair Association's Board of Directors.
