2026 campbell county bale trail

---

The Farmland Work Group proudly presents the Campbell County BALE TRAIL, featuring locally sourced hay (bales or loose) transformed into displays by private citizens, farmers, businesses, schools, and organizations. These displays will be publicly showcased from September 26 through October 31, inviting visitors to enjoy them!

Displays will be posted on social media outlets and the Conservation District website, with virtual maps to navigate the BALE TRAIL throughout Campbell County. This event aims to provide a safe, accessible, and free activity for families and the community, with online access available as well. Drive the scenic backroads of Campbell County and discover creative hay bale displays crafted by local farms and families. Campbell County Conservation District wants to promote community engagement, raise awareness, and celebrate Campbell County’s heritage.
