Crowing & Cackling at the Sevier County Fair
We invite chicken enthusiasts from all counties in Tennessee to look over their flocks and decide which birds would be the most likely to win “Best in Show” during the 2026 Sevier County Fair. Spruce them up and tote them down to the fair.
We encourage pure-bred poultry, but we will have a “mixed breed” bird class also. All birds entered will require a negative pullorum test within 90 days of the show. A state tester will be on hand the day of the coop-in to do such testing.
This is a NON-sanctioned FUN show with no exhibitor points being given to the American Poultry Association or American Bantam Association. There will be premiums for 1st – 3rd place honors as well as ribbons. If there are not at least 2 birds in a category, a 1st place ribbon will be paid second- place money.
ALL BIRDS MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED BY AUGUST 22nd, 2026.
The limit is due to limited space. To enter your poultry, please contact Angie at 865-414-8935 or Ruth at 865-414-7565.
THE ENTRY DEADLINE IS MONDAY, AUGUST 22 nd , 2026. Birds must be cooped-in between the hours of 8am and 2pm on Saturday, August 29th, 2026. All birds will be required to stay the entire week of the fair and will be fed and watered by our Experienced Barn Staff. The poultry tent will have every safety precaution taken, including a 6 ft. Chain-link fence surrounding the tent. Exhibitors will receive a ticket for one free entry to use on the day of their choice during the fair. The poultry exhibit will open to the public on Tuesday, September 1st , after judging has been completed. There is a $2.00 entry fee per bird and $1.00 clean-up fee.
