The Pierce County Fair is excited to announce that applications are now being accepted for the prestigious Century and Sesquicentennial Farm/Home Awards. If your farm or home has been in continuous family ownership for 100 to 150 years, you may be eligible to be honored at the Pierce County Fair—and possibly at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Eligibility criteria include:

• The farm or home must have been in continuous family ownership, either in full or in part.
• The title of the property must currently reside with a direct blood relative of the original owner, or a legally adopted child of a descendant.
• While continuous residence on the property or in the state is not required, the title of the property must have remained within the family line.
• An abstract of title is the best evidence of continuous family ownership (though it is not required to submit with your application).

The application deadline is Feb. 26, 2025. The Pierce County Fair recognition ceremony will take place Sunday, Aug. 10.

For more information and to obtain an application, please contact Fair Manager Liz Dietsche at 715-273-6874 or via email at liz.dietsche@co.pierce.wi.us. Stay up-to-date on upcoming events by following the Pierce County Fair on Facebook at Pierce County Fair and Fairgrounds (WI) and on Instagram at piercecountyfairwi. We look forward to celebrating this special recognition with you at the Pierce County Fair, taking place from Aug. 7-10, 2025!
