Inspiring Creativity. Celebrating Community. Showcasing Education.
The Martin County Fair is proud to host its annual School Booth Competition, a beloved tradition that celebrates the incredible creativity, spirit, and talent of our local schools. This friendly competition gives students the opportunity to design, build, and present a themed booth that reflects their school pride while incorporating agricultural awareness, community involvement, or a timely educational message.
Each booth is created by student groups—often clubs, classrooms, or school-wide teams—and will be judged on creativity, visual appeal, originality, adherence to the theme, and educational content. The competition not only highlights the artistic and academic strengths of Martin County’s students, but also encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and real-world application of classroom skills.
