Last weekend, the 94th Annual Navajo County Fair & Rodeo lit up Holbrook with four days of laughter, dust, music, and the unmistakable buzz of community coming together. The fair kicked off with opening ceremonies on Wednesday, setting the tone for a spirited gathering.

Thursday and Friday, folks enjoyed a full lineup: the Demolition Derby, the carnival midway, junior livestock shows, local vendors serving up fair-favorites and regional treats, and Junior Livestock kids prepped their animals for auction.

Friday night featured rodeo pre-shows and a full GCPRA rodeo under the stars, followed by concert performances. Saturday kept the pace high, with more rodeo, the Little Buckaroo Rodeo, more carnival and more music. If you were there, you’ve got some great memories; if not, there’s plenty to look forward to next year.
