This fair goes all week long and has something for everyone. Projects range from canning and baking to even rocket science. The outdoor shows include the traditional livestock and equestrian events and you can also see poultry and rabbit shows, mini-horse shows, dog shows and cat shows. The week-long events are hosted at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds where spectators are encouraged to stop in and see the hard work the contestants put into their projects.<\/p>\n

Don King Days<\/h3>\n

Labor Day Weekend | Big Horn Equestrian Center<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Although there are bigger, more prestigious celebrations out west, few can rival Don King Days.\u00a0 This event truly recaptures the spirit and traditions of the west, and the open-air, unconfined and unhurried atmosphere of rodeos past.\u00a0 It all started back in 1989 when a group of ranchers, ropers and friends of Don King organized the event and named it in honor the world-renowned saddle maker and King\u2019s Saddlery founder who contributed so much to the western culture.\u00a0 Their intent was to celebrate the classic equestrian events unique to the Sheridan area polo, steer roping and bronc riding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
