Steaks on Main is a communitywide event created to promote agriculture and Fannin County through a day-long ribeye steak cooking competition, ribeye dinner, and a free concert on the Bonham square. The purpose of the event is to bring together Bonham, Fannin County, and the surrounding areas in the spirit of food, fellowship, and friendly competition. Excess proceeds raised from the event are intended to be donated to County FFA and 4H programs. Please join us and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, beverages, a ribeye dinner, and live music.

The Fannin Agricultural Association, Inc. was able to donate over $20,000 back to local FFA/4H programs in Fannin County in 2023 and they hope to be able to continue that success in 2024.

The association is proud to announce their new website - Steaks On Main. Here you can find links for tickets, cooler fee information, and team entry. A ticket is NOT required to attend but will be required for the ribeye dinner. There will be a limited number of VIP tickets available this year for VIP tent access. For more information, please consult the website above.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available as well.  Sponsorship information can be found on the association’s website or reach out to a member of the Fannin Agricultural Association.
