Barn Rental

Dear Exhibitor:

Enclosed please find a copy of the Carbon County Fairgrounds Barn Contract and Housing Application. There have been some changes so please read carefully. The market animals will be housed in the Goat barn on the East end of the Fairgrounds. The water will not be available until May. Your pigs will have to be moved up to the Pig Barn by July 9, 2024.

Both forms must be returned to the Carbon County Fair Office before March 1, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Turning in an application does not guarantee you will be allowed to keep your animals at the fairgrounds. The Fairboard will make their final decision at their meeting on March 12, 2024. There will be a meeting at 5:00 p.m. on March 12, 2024, with Exhibitors and the Fair Board to discuss plans, and address any issues.

Please mail application and contract back to:
