Don't Miss a Minute of the Action

We are working to make this another great Mercer County Fair with plenty of competitive events and grandstand shows.

New last year, the 4x4 Truck Tug of War will return on Wednesday, July 14. This is for residents of Mercer, Knox, Henderson, Warren, Henry and Rock Island county and will feature three classes of trucks in the tug of war, plus a "King of the Pull" event for overall bragging rights. So, put it on your calendar, bring your truck and see if you have what it takes.

Also returning for the second year, the Illini State Pullers will host our truck and tractor pull on Friday, July 16. This show will feature three classes of ISP 4x4 trucks and one class of ISP tractors, as well as three local classes of 4x4 stock trucks.

As always, we have loads of 4-H, Junior and Open Class livestock shows, as well as two wristband days with C.D.A.C. Amusements for carnival entertainment.
