❤️ HELP US INVEST IN THE NEXT GENERATION ❤️

Behind every young person who steps into the show ring, walks into the arena, or proudly presents something they’ve worked hard on is a story of dedication, perseverance, and growth.

The Harris County Fair & Rodeo is more than an event, it’s a place where young people learn responsibility, build confidence, make lifelong memories, and discover what they’re capable of accomplishing.

But creating those opportunities takes a community.

We’re asking local businesses, families, and community supporters to consider becoming a sponsor of the Harris County Fair & Rodeo. Your support helps us continue providing opportunities for youth to work toward their goals, discover their passions, and experience the pride that comes from seeing their hard work pay off.

Your sponsorship isn’t just a donation. It’s an investment in a child’s future. That’s what community is all about. ❤️

If you or your business would like to help us keep these opportunities alive, we would be honored to have you join us as a sponsor. Your business image/name will be displayed to fair goers during our 3 day event as well as recognition on social media.

We have several options for sponsorship.
*Livestock Premiums
*Buckle sponsorships
*Sponsorship packages - Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze

Together, we can give the next generation a place to learn, grow, dream, and succeed.

BUCKLE SPONSORSHIPS ARE NOW LIVE!
The Harris County Fair is coming up this October, and we are officially looking for buckle sponsors!

These buckles become reminders of how hard they worked and how proud they were in that moment.

When you sponsor a buckle, you’re not just sponsoring an award. You’re investing in a young exhibitor and helping create a moment they will never forget. 🫶

✨ Buckle sponsorships are LIVE NOW! ✨

We would be so grateful for businesses, families, individuals, and organizations who would consider supporting our exhibitors this year.
