Entries open Dec. 1 for 2025 youth fair

Published

Entries for the 2025 Montague County Youth Fair will open on Dec. 1 and close on Dec. 15.
The 2025 youth fair will be Jan. 7-11 with locations in Nocona and outside Montague. Rules and entry information is available on the fair’s Facebook page.
In 2024 the fair welcomed 319 exhibitors from across the county with 951 entries in livestock, shop, home economics and leadership contests.
Kristi Tillman, chairman of the fair board, said the board and its volunteers are all busy getting prepared for the annual event. There have been only a few changes in the rules and categories this year.
Justin Hansard, county AgriLife agent, said the sale is going back to 50% of the market class going to the sale. Last year’s experiment changing this process did not work out well, so the board opted to return to the previous procedure.

About 20 people attended the first of what Mayor Kelly Williamson expects to be regular town hall sessions where citizens can be informed or ask questions on issues in the City of Saint Jo.
Williamson and Police Chief Harvey Johnson conducted the meeting. The mayor was elected last year and is retired from the United States Army. He and his wife, Cathy, moved to Saint Jo about three years ago looking to set down some roots after the military. Their son is serving in the 101st Airborne Division.
The mayor said the top pressing issues he sees for the city are streets, then water and sewer systems. However, he exclaimed it all takes money to do that work, and even if state or federal grants those are often funded 80-20, which still leaves a big hunk for the city to fund.
