Mineral County (54) is the scenic gateway to Western Montana. We have a wealth of exciting recreational opportunities, including secluded lakes, rivers and streams for floating, fishing and swimming; magnificent forests for camping; steep mountains for hiking; mountain trails for horse riding, cycling or quad biking; shooting and hunting game; and unparalleled views for sightseeing.
We also have the Mineral County Fair in Superior from August 4-6.
Every year thousands of locals and people from all over the United States attend our small town country fair. Some are former residents catching up with family and old friends. Others are travelers exploring Big Sky Country.
Even so, some had no prior personal connection to our county, but once they’ve been here, they choose to come back every year just because it’s so much fun! Regardless of the reason for their visit, our fairgoers are always greeted with a friendly smile and free entry to the fairgrounds.
This year’s Mineral County Fair features all of our most popular attractions. We start each day with a delicious pancake breakfast followed by open class and 4-H projects, children’s water slides, bounce houses, an obstacle course and games. Every afternoon, we have live music and bingo.
The Cabin Fever Quilters Guild will be holding its 21st annual quilt show, “Big Sky Stars” featuring featured quilter, Mary Foley. Throughout each day and evening, our concessionaires serve up a variety of delicious food and refreshing beverages to satisfy any craving.
Thursday, we have Family Night at the arena (Jackpot Barrel Racing, Chicken Scramble and Calf Chase).
Friday and Saturday nights draw big crows for the Superior Lions Club’s “Go For The Gold” rodeo (bull riding, barrel racing, saddle bronc riding, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, roping , as well as team roping – tickets on sale from here). July 20).
