AUGUST

CARLTON COUNTY FAIR

Every third week of August, Barnum comes alive with the sounds of a good, old- fashioned county fair. For over 100 years, Barnum has played host to this annual event that includes animal, flower and vegetable exhibits, along with arts and crafts, historical displays and of course ... the midway and carnival. The Carlton County Fair also has a proud tradition of annual horse racing events and a variety of shows and other entertainment for the whole family. The fairgrounds are prominently located in Barnum and are easily identified by finding "Old No. 27". a fully-restored steam loco motive, located on the fairgrounds.
