The Pierce County Fair is now welcoming applications for its Century and Sesquicentennial Farm/Home Awards, a long-standing tradition that honors families who have preserved their farms or homes through generations of ownership.
Families whose property has remained in the same family for 100 or 150 consecutive years may qualify for recognition at the 2026 Pierce County Fair. Eligible applicants may also be considered for recognition at the Wisconsin State Fair.
To qualify, the property must currently be owned—either fully or partially—by a direct blood relative of the original owner or a legally adopted descendant. Continuous residence on the property is not required; however, ownership must have remained within the family lineage. While not mandatory, an abstract of title is the preferred documentation to verify ownership history.
Selected recipients will be formally recognized during a ceremony at the Pierce County Fair on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026.
Key dates to remember:
Applications and additional information are available by contacting Fair Manager Liz Dietsche at 715-273-6874 or by email at liz.dietsche@co.pierce.wi.us.
The Pierce County Fair runs Aug. 13–16, 2026. For updates and event information, follow the Pierce County Fair and Fairgrounds (WI) on Facebook and @piercecountyfairwi on Instagram. The Pierce County Fair looks forward to honoring the families whose dedication and stewardship have helped shape the county’s agricultural and residential heritage.
