Welcome New Fair Board Members!

In January the Fair Board welcomed three new members - Carl Chambers, Hans Neukomm and Darrell Oakes. Trudy Overlin was voted in as Fair Board Chair for 2018 and  Mark Baumgartner as Vice-Chair.  Heather Bodenhamer and Gregg Thompson will continue in their positions as Fair Board members. The Fair Board is a dedicated and hard-working group of volunteers who support the work of the fairgrounds and share their extensive knowledge and experience with the County.

New Meeting Time! The Fair Board has voted to begin meetings at 6:00 pm starting in February. Fair Board meetings are regularly held the third Monday of the month, but due to the holiday the February meeting will be postponed to Monday, February 26th. Fair Board meetings are open to the public.
