Fair parade entry forms available

Stop following the crowd. They are lost. Follow the creek. It knows where it is going. Unknown. 

Parade, parade, parade. Get your Big Horn County Fair parade forms in.  The parade is at 10 a.m. on Aug. 2. Prizes will be awarded to the entries that best incorporate the fair theme into their float.  Entries are due July 28. We don’t take late entries because we had to plan the lineup to ensure entries with livestock are not too close to loud entries. Thank you for understanding. Forms at chamber office or email us at basinchamber@gmail.com
