The Putnam County Fair wants anyone that is interested to come to our fair to exhibit their livestock. Our 4-H and FFA divisions are open to surrounding counties in Missouri (Adair, Mercer, Schuyler, and Sullivan). The Beef, Swine and Sheep Shows are open to any county that is open to us (Grundy, Harrison, Daviess and Scotland at least) as well. The 4-H and FFA poultry and rabbits have to be on the fairgrounds most of the week! However, our open divisions are open to anyone that wants to attend!
