Prowers County Sand and Sage Round-Up is sponsored by
the Prowers County Fair Board and the Prowers County
Commissioners with the assistance of Colorado State Uni-
versity (CSU) Extension.
The objective of the Prowers County Fair is to encourage
better farming, livestock production, homemaking and busi-
ness enterprises in Southeast Colorado; and at the same
time to encourage the 4-H and FFA youth of Prowers
County to develop qualities of leadership and resourceful-
ness by providing them with an appropriate site for exhibit-
ing their accomplishments in agriculture, family and con-
sumer sciences, and community affairs.
The Prowers County Fair Board, County Commissioners,
and Extension Office invite the cooperation and sugges-
tions of the farmers, ranchers, homemakers, and business-
men of Southeast Colorado to make this fair a growing,
worthwhile event.
Your participation will help unite the people and communi-
ties of Prowers County and Southeastern Colorado.
