It’s time for the Teller County Fair that will be held at the Cripple Creek Fairgrounds, Aug. 4-8. Several activities will be returning and include an ATV Rodeo, craft fair, rides for the kids, Burger King the long horn steer, as well as Rough Stock Rodeo, Open Jackpot Roping, Equipment Rodeo, Dog Show, Horse Show, Livestock Shows, 4-H and Open Exhibits, Demolition Derby and the Jr. Gymkhana.
This year’s theme, chosen by Teller County 4-H clubs, is Powered by Green. 4-H is celebrating 100 years and has always been “green” with an educational model emphasizing the importance of being sustainable, and creating from “scratch”, using or re-using what is readily available.
