Become a Vendor

With an average of 25,000 people attending the Benton County Fair & Rodeo - don't miss 2022! We have renamed our commercial building the Funporium and in addition to vendor booths, we have packed the building with family-friendly attractions including First Force Robotics, model train displays, and a Mobile Escape Room. Vendor applications are being accepted now.

Competitive Exhibits

It may be a hobby, but you're good at it! It's time to share your passion by entering what you create into one or more of the competitions at the 2022 Benton County Fair.

The entry categories include Fine Arts, Photography, Hobbies & Crafts, Foods, Fiber Arts, Floral, and Land Products. All departments are now accepting entries. The Exhibit Book is available on the Benton County Fair website.

We also need volunteers to help run these departments, so if you would enjoy helping organize the displays, support judging or spending time greeting fair visitors please contact our office.
