There’s something special about a state fair.

It’s the rides, the food, the entertainment, and the excitement, but for communities like those in Eastern Idaho, it’s also about agriculture, livestock, family, and tradition.

The Eastern Idaho State Fair returns to Blackfoot from September 4–12, 2026, bringing together families, ranchers, farmers, businesses, and visitors for nine days of fun and celebration. Eastern Idaho State Fair – Official Website

And this year, Howard Equipment & Supply is proud to be part of this great tradition once again.

Whether you're coming to see the livestock, enjoy the carnival rides, try some fair food, or catch one of the many entertainment events, there is plenty to experience at this year's fair.

The 2026 schedule includes livestock and agricultural exhibits, 4-H and FFA activities, carnival rides, food, performances, grandstand entertainment, Indian Relay Races, Pari-Mutuel Racing, and other family activities. 2026 Eastern Idaho State Fair Information

It is the kind of event where you can spend the day exploring and still find something new around the next corner.

Agriculture Is Still at the Heart of the Fair

While the Eastern Idaho State Fair has grown into a major community event, agriculture remains an important part of its identity.

The fair's history began with a livestock show in Blackfoot in 1902, and that connection continues today through beef cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, rabbits, 4-H, FFA, agriculture, horticulture, and other competitions. Eastern Idaho State Fair – Exhibitors & Competitors

For ranching families, these exhibits and competitions are about more than ribbons and awards. They provide an opportunity for young people to learn responsibility, develop skills, and continue traditions that have been passed from one generation to the next.

Howard Equipment & Supply at the Fair

For Howard Equipment & Supply, being at the Eastern Idaho State Fair is a natural fit.

Howard has been serving agriculture since 1965, helping farmers and ranchers find livestock equipment and practical solutions for their operations.

That's why we are excited to be at the fair this year.

If you're attending, stop by the Howard Equipment & Supply booth and come say hello.

Talk with our team. Ask questions. Talk cattle. Talk ranching. Talk equipment.

Sometimes the best way to find the right solution for your operation is simply to have a conversation with someone who understands what you're dealing with.

It's About More Than Equipment

Cattle handling equipment is an investment.

A good chute, alley, panel, gate, or other livestock handling solution should make the job safer and more efficient, not make it more complicated.

At Howard Equipment, we understand that every ranch is different. That's why we believe choosing equipment should start with understanding your operation, your cattle, and the work you need to accomplish.

That practical approach is part of what we call The Howard Way.

More Than Agriculture

The Eastern Idaho State Fair brings together much more than livestock and agricultural exhibits. Throughout the fairgrounds, visitors can discover displays, organizations, entertainment, and experiences that celebrate the history, people, and communities of Idaho.

It's one of the things that makes the fair such a special annual gathering, there's always something new to see, whether you're there for agriculture, family activities, entertainment, or simply to enjoy the atmosphere.

Come Enjoy the Fair

Whether you're a lifelong Idaho rancher or simply looking for a great family event, the Eastern Idaho State Fair has something worth experiencing.

Come see the livestock. Enjoy the food. Take in the entertainment. Visit the local businesses and exhibitors.

And while you're there, come visit Howard Equipment & Supply.
