The Sumter County Fair presents a variety of competitive events, providing numerous opportunities for participation. Our haybale competition is a delightful team effort for 4-H clubs and FFA Chapters to showcase their creativity and teamwork, aiming to craft the most impressive haybale according to the theme. These decorative haybales will adorn our fairgrounds throughout the event week.
