A word from the 2025 Fort Bend County Fair President:
I would like to welcome everyone to the 89th Annual Fort Bend County Fair and Rodeo .Our Fair is one of the largest fairs in the state of Texas and we have something for everyone to see and do. We have one of the largest livestock shows around, along with the carnival, mutton bustin’, diaper derby, live concerts by some of the top named artists and one of the biggest PRCA Rodeos that a county fair can put on. Many may not know our PRCA Rodeo is a qualifier for Rodeo Houston which brings some of the top world champions that you see at the NFR in Las Vegas.
Growing up in Stafford, Texas and graduating from John Foster Dulles High School in 1977, I have seen Fort Bend County grow from a small rural county to the county it is today. In witnessing this growth and diversity, I felt it exemplified the theme of the 89th Fort Bend County Fair, “Promoting Family, Youth and Agriculture”. It takes all families to keep agriculture alive as we use it in everyday life. The fair supports all youth from Livestock, to Horticulture, to Scholarships and beyond.
As President of the 2025 Fort Bend County Fair, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and recognition of the hundreds of Volunteers, Sponsors and Auction Buyers that give countless hours of their time, resources, talents and treasures; as well as the Office Staff and the Board of Directors who put all the pieces of the puzzle together to make it happen.
I would like to thank my wife, Jana, of 43 years, and our two children, Trebor and Taylor, for their continued support. My passion for giving back to the community has led to being involved in the fair for over 30 years. That same passion has been instilled in our children who have been involved with the fair for over 25 years. Our sons have been blessed us with 3 beautiful grandchildren who will continue the tradition as they are products of what the fair can do for our youth.
So, make plans to come out and enjoy the BBQ Cookoff, September 19th and 20th, 2025 and the Fair from September 25th through October 5th, 2025, as I am looking forward to seeing everyone.
Bobby Poncik, President
Fort Bend County Fair Association
