Eagar Days set for June 20 at Ramsey Park with fishing tournament, car show

Families in Eagar will have a full day built around two of the town’s best-known recreation spots, with the fishing tournament starting at 8 a.m. at Cowpuncher Pond and Eagar Days running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Ramsey Park on June 20.

The Town of Eagar is billing the event as more than a summer gathering. Its schedule pairs a fishing tournament, food, music, games, vendors and a Show & Shine car show, giving parents and kids a clear plan for the day while also creating space for local sellers and community groups to meet residents face to face. The town is also accepting vendor registration through staff, which turns the celebration into a small, one-day marketplace as much as a festival.

The fishing tournament is open to all ages, with early registration preferred and day-of registration available at 8 a.m. That timing makes the tournament the day’s first big draw and gives families a reason to get to Cowpuncher Pond early before shifting over to Ramsey Park for the rest of the lineup. A separate local events listing says the day may also include a donut-eating contest, skate and scooter competition, photo booth and awards, adding more options for children and teens beyond the car show and tournament.

The location matters. Ramsey Park includes a skate park and splash pad, while Cowpuncher Pond offers a walking path and fishing area, so the town is using two sites that already fit the way local families spend time outdoors. The setup gives parents a practical route through the day: fishing at the pond in the morning, then games, vendors and the car show at the park during the afternoon.

Jessica Vaughan is listed as the town contact, and Aimie Richards is listed as the Show & Shine contact. Those names matter for residents who want to participate, especially vendors, craft sellers and drivers planning to bring a vehicle to the car show. A local news listing says Eagar Days is returning to Ramsey Park and Cowpuncher Pond with an annual fishing tournament, family activities, local vendors and volunteers sought, underscoring that the event has become a recurring part of the town’s calendar rather than a one-off celebration.

For Eagar, the strongest hook is the combination of the fishing tournament and the Show & Shine. One points to the town’s outdoor culture at Cowpuncher Pond; the other spotlights the pride people take in their vehicles, their work and their hometown. Together, they make June 20 a day when Ramsey Park and the pond will reflect the same thing the White Mountains have long given Eagar: a close-knit community that shows up for its own.
