Competitions

The competitions traditionally held over the weekend are exactly what you would expect to find at a typical County Fair: eating contests, cook-offs, haybale tosses, and more!

​

The Country Mudder is a test of speed, endurance, and teamwork. Competitors work together to help teammates through a series of obstacles: moving a giant tire, swinging from ropes, and trudging through mud!

​

The Baraga County Fair Color Fun Run & Walk is an event held on the Papin Road in Pelkie. This is not a timed race. Instead, it serves as a fun, social gathering for the community. Participants run or walk 2 miles and are doused with colored chalk at different checkpoints along the way. It's a rainbow of fun on a Saturday morning!

​

All events are volunteer-led, and community participation is crucial. If you are interested in becoming an event coordinator for the Country Mudder or other Competitions, fill out our volunteer form on our 'Contact Us' page. Join us in making a memorable Fair Weekend!
