Walker County Fair in Huntsville
When: March 27 - April 5, 2009Where: Walker County Fairgrounds in Huntsville, Texas
Corral the kids in the car and head to Huntsville for a week-long round up of rodeo activities and carnival fun that has been a Texas tradition since 1978.
Events
If the excitement of barrel racing doesn't rope you in to the stands at the rodeo arena, the steer roping and team roping events will. Cheer on the participants in the youth edition or thrill at the skill of PRCA members.
Let your fantasies of fame become reality by signing up to perform in the Country Music Star competition. Held at the fair's main stage, the winner will receive a cash prize, a recording demo and the chance for a recoding contract.
If you're hankering for some tried and true Texas fare, let the savory smell of brisket lead you to the BBQ/Chili Cook-Off, just one of the many contests held during the fair. Competitors will also battle for a blue ribbon in the following: canned and baked goods contest, clothing, photography, quilts and horticulture.
A staple at southern festivals, pageants play a prominent role at the Walker County Fair. A fair prince, princess and queen will be crowned during the festivities.
Children's Activities
Brave little buckaroos can rustle up the gumption to get into the arena for the Little Tyke Rodeo. Competitions include stick horse barrel racing, dummy roping, hay hauling and goat typing.
For the little animal lover in your family, there's a children's barnyard petting zoo complete with cuddly chicks, bunnies, ducks, and a bottle-fed calf.
From bumper cars to the tilt-a-whirl, the fair offers over 25 classic carnival rides and attractions for both the young and the young at heart. Try to win a stuffed toy for your sweetheart, look out on the fairgrounds from the top of the Ferris wheel, and saddle up for a ride back to your childhood as a menagerie of merry-go-round horses "gallop" in time to a playful tune.
