To showcase and promote the state's agriculture, agribusiness, arts, crafts and culture through the annual agricultural fair.

The Fair is also an opportunity for the state's ever-increasing urban population to learn about agriculture through educational and competitive exhibits in the areas of livestock, horticulture, cooking, folk art and much more. More than $700,000 in prize money is awarded each year.
