Logan County fair adds America 250 Colorado 150 drone show
A 9:30 p.m. America 250-Colorado 150 drone show will light up the Logan County Fairgrounds in Sterling on July 31.
A drone show tied to the America 250 - Colorado 150 commemoration will light up the Logan County Fair and Rodeo on Friday, July 31, adding a new nighttime draw to fair week in Sterling. The display is being folded into a schedule that already includes the Dick Stull Memorial PRCA Rodeo and the 2026 Logan County Fair Night Show.
Explore Sterling lists the Stories in the Sky Drone Show from 9:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Logan County Fairgrounds, and America250.org places the venue at 1120 Pawnee Avenue in Sterling, 80751. The Logan County Fair website also points visitors to ticketing and a monthly newsletter, giving fairgoers a direct way to plan around the added attraction.
The show is part of a much larger statewide anniversary push. History Colorado says the America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission is presenting Stories in the Sky, a series of nearly 150 community drone shows scheduled to light up Colorado skies from September 2025 through December 2026. The Colorado Department of Agriculture calls 2026 Colorado’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th anniversary, describing the combined observance as the Sesquisemiquincentennial, or 250-150, while the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade has framed 2026 as a year of statewide celebration built around festivals, community events and attractions.
In Logan County, the drone show will sit inside one of the area’s biggest annual gatherings, where families from Sterling, Crook, Fleming, Iliff and the surrounding rural communities already come for livestock shows, youth programs and rodeo culture. The fairgrounds will be busy around it: the Dick Stull Memorial PRCA Rodeo is scheduled for July 30 and July 31, 2026, at 7 p.m., and the 2026 Logan County Fair Night Show is set for Saturday, August 1 at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m.
That lineup gives the county a full fair-week arc, from rodeo to music to a light show that marks both a national milestone and Colorado’s own 150th year. For Logan County, the drone display turns the fairgrounds into more than an exhibit space or rodeo arena; it becomes the place where the county joins a statewide celebration without losing its own fair-week identity.
