The story

Wyoming State Winter Fair in Lander

The Wyoming State Winter Fair is an indoor agricultural and craft exhibition held each winter in Lander, Wyoming, complementing the state's larger summer fair in Douglas. It features livestock and small-animal shows, home arts and craft competitions, and family activities scheduled to give exhibitors and communities a winter agricultural gathering.

Wyoming maintains two state-level agricultural fairs rather than one, the large summer Wyoming State Fair held in Douglas and a smaller companion event, the Wyoming State Winter Fair, held in Lander during the colder months.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Wyoming is unusual in having a designated state winter fair alongside its main summer state fair, giving agricultural exhibitors, particularly those raising small animals like rabbits and poultry that suit indoor winter showing, a dedicated statewide competitive outlet outside the summer season

02

The mystery stays covered

Hosting it in Lander, a smaller town rather than one of Wyoming's larger cities, extends the reach of statewide agricultural competition beyond the communities that already host the bigger summer events

03

The city starts moving

The winter timing and indoor format also give 4-H and FFA youth exhibitors a second seasonal competition cycle, effectively doubling the state-level competitive opportunities available across the year
