Each year, approximately 225 youth, ages 8-19 years old, participate in the Junior Livestock Sale. The primary purpose of the sale is for the youth to learn responsibility, time management skills, record keeping and public speaking, while working to earn back their investment on the animal they are selling.

The majority of the youth have spent their own money on the initial investment for caring and feeding of their animal. Funds raised from each animal sold returns to the youth as funds for college.

This program strives to help Larimer County youth become responsible leaders that are invested in their home community, but also to bring the best animals in the county to be exhibited as safe and wholesome products.

Royalty

Howdy rodeo fans! My name is Lindsey Fancher-Owen, I am 17 years old and a junior at Thompson Valley High School. I’m the daughter of Dr. Shannon Fancher DVM, stepdaughter of the late Richard Rule, and daughter of Dr. William Patrick Owen DVM. Alongside my brothers, Rayne and Drake Rule, I’ve grown up on my family’s small rodeo cattle ranch, the Fancy R.

As a little girl, I’d adore running around behind the chutes with my stepdad, Richard, a 25 year rodeo committee member, meeting rodeo contestants and rodeo queens. Even then I knew my dream was to become the Larimer County Fair and Rodeo Queen to represent my beloved rodeo and Western Way of Life. Alongside being a lover of rodeo, I am also a long time 4H member as I’ve been apart of the program for eight years in the Desperados 4H Club.

My best friend and queen’s horse is a six year old gelding named Cutter. He and I love to compete in gymkhana events together. In my free time I enjoy barrel racing, theatre, competing in track and field, and singing the national anthem. I would like to dedicate my reign to my stepdad, Richard Rule. Although he can’t be here, I know he is watching with pride from the grandest stands of all.

The Fair is where you can have a grand time while celebrating our rural heritage. Every year we strive to make the Fair the best it can be and this can only be accomplished with the help of our many wonderful volunteers.

Please consider joining us this year as a Larimer County Fair & Rodeo "Ranch Hand". Become an integral part of one of the best fairs in America. Our fair offers fun filled opportunities for groups, families and individuals in such events as:

• Ambassadors - greet, handout schedules, and provide general fair information to our visitors.
• Shuttle Drivers - provide transportation for visitors on the Fairgrounds (Drivers must be at least 21 years of age).
• Pancake Breakfast - help our visitors welcome the day by serving up a hearty good morning meal.

This is just a fraction of what the Fair has to offer and a few of the countless ways volunteers make each year so special. Your unique expertise and creativity are always welcome.

A sincere thank you to all of our past and future volunteers. The success of our Fair is a direct result of all of our volunteers!
