Blain’s Farm & Fleet, a Midwest-based retailer serving families and communities for over 70 years, announces Blain’s Fest 2026, a three-day in-store celebration taking place May 1st through May 3rd at all locations. The event brings neighbors together with seasonal deals, more than $100,000 in prizes, daily giveaways, and family-friendly activities.
“We want to help our neighbors get ready for spring by offering the deals they need and making sure we have the right merchandise on hand,” said Mark Hasting, Chief Executive Officer & President. “It’s also a chance for families to stop in together, see what’s new, and discover products they may not even realize we carry.”
