Don't miss the Sterling Fair

we went last year and had a blast- the agri fair is great- lots of animals, kids activities, plus the carnival rides, but best of all was the location- the airstrip is a great place to have this- we even went on an affordable helicopter ride. My 5 yo still talks about this festival. Don't miss it!

Sterling's Free Agricultural Fair A Rare Find

My daughters age 2 and 5 are already looking forward to the annual frog jumping contest. They love the bunnies, sheep, pigs, and other animals, the midway and rides, and the food. We live in Stering but people come from all over to enjoy this rare find - free, clean and child focused.
