Future Plans for the Baker County Fairgrounds ....
We are busy continuing the work on the Event Center . The Baker County Fair continues to grow and we are making changes in the facilities to accommodate the growth . Our latest project is to provide more space for the expanding number of beef exhibitors . In order to do that , we are shuffling animals and moving the goats to the sheep / pig barn and using the south barn exclusively as a beef barn . To provide a safe and efficient flow of sheep , goats , and pigs in and out of the north barn to the Cockram Arena , we are adding a roll-up door to the northeast corner of the Cockram Arena . We have been able to complete this project with the help from US Bank , 4-H Leaders Association , Good Shepherds 4-H Club , Soroptimist International of Baker City , and The Baker County Fairboard .
We are also improving the Rodeo Arena . We have replaced the old roping chute with a new one . A big thank you to Cody and Lexi Shaw with Triple Arrow Cattle Company for there help in making this happen .
THANK YOU ! TO ALL OUR BUSINESSES , FOUNDATIONS , PRIVATE CITIZENS AND THE FRIENDS OF THE FAIR FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THESE PROJECTS !
