Each summer we get a front row seat to a rewarding show.
The animals strutting across the show ring. The youth displaying their hard work. The volunteers running the event. And the neighbors cheering from the stands.
It’s a beautiful demonstration of what a vibrant, thriving rural community can do when they come together.
Behind the scenes is Compeer Financial, championing agriculture and rural communities. From structural sponsorships to volunteerism, our support helps shape today’s youth.

Does your county fair in Illinois, Wisconsin or Minnesota need financial assistance to maintain your excellent impact? Apply for one of our County Fair Facility Grants.
Fair organizations in Compeer’s territory can apply for up to $4,000 for repairs or maintenance to existing livestock buildings, 4-H buildings or livestock judging arenas.
Applications are open March 1-31 annually. Sign up for our reminder emails to make sure you don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity.
The Crane Pavilion Livestock Arena is a vital facility for the Mower County Fair in Austin, Minnesota, serving as a multifunctional space for livestock exhibitions, educational programs and community gatherings. When the lack of handrails in the arena led to safety and accessibility concerns, fair organizers applied for our grant to have them installed.
This investment reflects our commitment to serving the needs of our community and ensuring the fairgrounds remain a vibrant hub for agricultural education, entertainment and community engagement now and in the future.”
