The Collinsville Community Fair, as it was known in 1946, was a two day event. The domestic arts and horticulture exhibits were located in the Veterans’ Building. Around that time Collinsville was named the Dairy Capital of Oklahoma. The livestock competition was one day only and included five breeds of dairy cattle. The judging took place in the Collinsville Community Sale barn (located just west of the railroad track on Main Street .. current location of Casey’s). In 1947, land was leased from the City and construction began on the fair barns. To fund the Fair, ads were sold and were a part of the premium book published each year. The name was changed to the Collinsville Tri-County Fair, which included Rogers, Tulsa and Washington County. Today, competition is open to all junior exhibitors.

We appreciate the Public Works crew of the City of Collinsville for their efforts in mowing and weed trimming the area surrounding the fairgrounds as we prepare for this annual August event.

Food trucks will be available Friday evening and all day Saturday at the Assembly of God parking lot, 10th and Center. Additional truck/trailer parking will be available east of the fair barn this year.

The Collinsville Tri-County Fair Board, made up of volunteers, works year round to plan and implement this annual event. We appreciate the work done by area FFA instructors/students in setting up pens prior to the fair. Volunteers are always welcome.
