Sending our sincere sympathies to the family of Lyle Schaunaman. What a privilege to honor Lyle for his dedication and commitment to the Brown County Fair, as a 2025 Hall of Fame inductee. The barrel train and homemade ice cream, helped create lasting memories of the Brown County Fair!

This is one of those times. And YOU — our board members, volunteers, teachers, leaders, youth, and families — are the ones who make it possible.

Because the truth is simple: In Brown County, YOU make THE difference.

📅 When: Tuesday, February 24th @ 4:00 PM
📍 Where: 25 Market Street, Aberdeen, SD

Thank you to everyone who supported the Brown County Fair Foundation this week by stopping by the Rodeo Bar and getting yourself a rodeo-rita or favorite beverage; purchasing a raffle ticket for the refrigerator battle; 🏃 🏃‍♀️, walking, or 🚴 the 5K; eating at the Sunday morning pancake breakfast; or cashing in on your fair flyover with Darrell Hillestad (from the Hall of Fame auction). Great to see everyone at the fair!
