Welcome to the
Branch County 4-H Fair!
Coldwater, Michigan

2008 Fair Dates: August 3rd-9th




     The Branch County Fairgrounds covers approximately 70 acres of land in Coldwater, Michigan and is the hub of activity all year long.  From the Car Show/Swap Meet in early May through the County Fair in August, to many rallies and other events, the grounds are always hopping.  The activity level was doubled in 1998 due to the completion of a dream, the Dearth Community Center.  This beautiful building began with the seed money from Mrs. Dearth and exploded into a huge community venture and has become the number one place in the county for wedding receptions, trade shows, seminars, and many other events.  You will find information throughout this site on the events that are scheduled for the grounds, what buildings and spaces are available for rent, and much more.

***Large animal exhibitors who have a camping space reserved may pull their campers onto the fairgrounds starting Friday, August 1st at 4pm.***
