The Butler Farm Show blended family fun and Butler County’s agricultural identity once again this year between Monday, Aug. 10, and Saturday, Aug. 15.
While offering plenty of animal shows and 4-H exhibitions, the week’s itinerary also included activities, such as Monday’s watermelon eating contest, Wednesday’s rooster crowing competition and Friday’s demolition derby.
The weeklong event also featured food vendors, live music acts, fair rides and more.
The Butler Farm Show will return in 2027 to the show grounds at 625 Evans City Road.
