Vermilion 120th Annual Fair

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 2026 WELCOME TO THE VERMILION AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY FAIR! As we proudly open the gates to the 120th Annual Vermilion Fair, we are thrilled to celebrate this milestone year with the theme: “Born in a Barn.” This year’s theme is a fun tribute to our agricultural roots — a celebration of hard work, heritage, and the down-to-earth spirit that defines rural life. “Born In a Barn” reminds us where we come from and honors the grit, determination, and community pride that have sustained this fair for well over a century. For 120 years, the Vermilion Fair has stood as a cornerstone of our community, showcasing the very best in agriculture, creativity and craftsmanship. From the Exhibit Hall to the barns, some friendly competition and a bustling trade show, there is something here for everyone to experience and enjoy. This fair is a testament to the dedication and passion of so many. Our volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees each play a vital role in bringing this event to life. Your time, talent, and commitment are what transform tradition into something vibrant and meaningful year after year. The pride you bring to your entries and displays reflects the very heart of our community. As you take part in this year’s fair, we encourage you to pause and appreciate the collaboration and care that make this event possible. Whether you are here to compete, to connect, or to celebrate, we are truly grateful for your involvement. Thank you for being part of the 120th Vermilion Fair. Let’s make this year — proudly Born In a Barn — a memorable celebration filled with achievement, laughter, and moments that honor our past while building excitement for the future. Enjoy the fair!
