We're happy to bring the 14|27 mini to the Sauk Centre area and the 2023 Stearns County Fair. This page will give you all the details you need to know about the event and the challenge itself.
This event is combining sports along with the atmosphere of a County Fair. This year it won't be just about Cotton Candy and a the Ferris Wheel...it'll also be about basketball. Put your basketball skills to the ultimate test and you might just go home a winner!
14|27 is an individual based basketball challenge. It gives each competitor the opportunity to showcase their skills as their accuracy, composure, and overall basketball strength gets put to the ULTIMATE Test.
For the Stearns County Fair everyone is able to compete for free. You'll be given 2 attempts at the 14|27 mini. If you didn't perform how you would have liked...you can get more attempts by getting back in line.
Everyone is able to compete at the fair. Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult, parent, grandparent, etc. we have a spot for you. We have basketballs for each level of play which will give everyone a fighting chance at being a winner.
Thursday - Saturday:

A winner will be named each hour
Sunday:

If you are a winner (meaning you made it further than anyone else that hour) you will receive a text from one of our team members.
Please bring that text (and the competitor) back to the 14|27 Basketball Challenge booth and collect your prize.
If you left the fair, we'll contact you and mail out your prize to your preferred address.
