Why does This EVENT COST MONEY TO ATTEND?

We count on annual Fair revenue to fund our annual Agricultural fair and all of the community services we do annually. We had to cancel our fair this year due to COVID-19 and we unfortunately lost revenue. Additionally, a per-vehicle fee helps to cover costs of providing adequate staffing, amenities and public safety services associated with hosting this event. While this event is held on county property, we are not affiliated with the county and we do not receive funding from the county. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 association that rents the grounds from the county to host our events.

We are thankful to the many fair fans who are looking forward to enjoying some Fair food favorites and who will be helping the fair weather a year without our annual fair!
