horticulture, photography, art, and a wide array of food
choices, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
 The
Clark County Fair & Rodeo, formerly named the Moapa
Valley Fair, had its beginning back in 1965. This first
fair was small in size, nevertheless, it had all the
flavor and elements of a good old county fair. Each year
new attractions were added, such as the carnival midway,
the junior livestock show, and a rodeo.
In
the past, the fair took place at various locations in
the community such as the local park, churches and
schools. In 1988, the current fairgrounds in
Logandale were first used for this event.
Away
from the
Las Vegas
Valley
, this fun event provides entertainment and activities
for the entire family. The Plaza, Midway, and BBQ
stages provide concerts, magic shows, hypnotists,
juggling, and dance performances daily. The
cultural exhibits include plants, quilts, handmade
clothing, candies, pies, cookies, photographs, pottery,
sculptures, paintings, models, and much more. If
you prefer live attractions, the reptiles, birds, small
rodents, and sheep can be found in the small animal barn
while cows, horses, lambs, and goats will be shown in
the Livestock Pavilion. The rodeo has events
nightly.
The
fair opens daily at
10 am

races, carnival rides, carnival games, train rides,
