Games! Games! Games!

Family Fun with Cherry Tree and Children’s Games in the gym!

We’ve brought back your favorites: Basket the Ball, Can Can, Bean Bag Toss, Lollipop Tree, and Hockey Shot.

Kids, tweens, adults, and more can shine at the Youth Games! Channel your inner NBA star as you shoot hoops for prizes galore on our new baskets! Don’t forget to bring along plenty of quarters to take aim for chances to win at the popular quarter toss game. Guess your speed and hurl a baseball as Pitcher Perfect returns for its second year. All this and more – don’t miss it!

They’re called Games of Chance, but your family is guaranteed to have a great time. The Wheel of Redemption returns with your chance to win jumbo prizes. Fair favorites returning are Perfect Putts and Skill Roll. And back by popular demand are Plinko and Off to the Races. You’re sure to be a winner at the Nativity County Fair!

Did you know kids in 3rd grade and up can volunteer at the fair? Shorter shifts are available starting at only one hour!

Grab your friends from the Prayer Shawl Ministry, Nativity Men's and Women's Softball teams, or Bridge Club. Coordinate a group from your child's grade or Scout troop. Volunteering is more fun when you do it with friends. Find your crew, choose your event and time, and start filling those slots!

Save the Date: Live Auction and Dinner

Nativity County Fair’s Silent / Live Auction and Dinner is moving to a standalone event this year and will be held on Saturday, February 5, 2022, as the culmination of Nativity’s celebration of Catholic School’s Week.

This is the flagship event of the year and is always a wonderful evening of socializing, entertainment, and giving back. Start planning your table of 8 or sign up individually as this is always a great venue to meet new friends at Nativity.

Ticketing information and more details on the night will be coming out soon. Donations of all kinds are needed to make the auctions successful, so please consider donating items to the event.

Popular items include gift certificates to your favorite places, electronics, sporting goods, concert and sporting event tickets, cabin weekends and other getaways, and more!
