Description of Event:

The Jim Hogg County Fair is the longest running festival in the county.  The Jim Hogg County Fair was officially organized under the name “The Jim Hogg County Fair Association” on May 24, 1985 however the annual event dates back much further.  In 1985, Mr. E.G. Nava was elected as its first president.  In this same year, Marissa Ramirez was crowned Miss Jim Hogg County Queen.  Shortly thereafter, in 1987, The Little Mr. and Miss Jim Hogg County was introduced with Albert Pena and Leslie Garza taking the title.  In 1988 The Jim Hogg County Fair Association began recognizing local ranchers for their continuous support and generosity and named Ascension Martinez as the Rancher of the Year.

With no permanent facilities to call its own, the County Fair used whatever facilities it could to hold its show. In its early days, the American Legion once a year became known as the Fairgrounds.
