Fair Authority Members

The Jefferson County Fair Authority is a group of volunteers that work tirelessly throughout the year to manage the fairgrounds and provide you, the public, with a great experience.

When people think of fairs; carnival rides, games, animals, and food are the things that first come to mind. But fairs are more than that. Fairgoers have an opportunity to learn while visiting the exhibits and seeing the animals. Many foods that have been grown locally are exhibited in the general exhibits building from eggs to blueberries to canned meats. In the barns youth proudly display the animals they have raised that will be sold at the auction. You are seeing the true meaning of “Farm to Table.”

Many volunteers donate their time to the fair as an expression of their love for the fair and value of the fair to the education of others. Fairgoers are learning as they visit the fair while youth exhibitors are learning throughout the year as they choose and raise their project for exhibition.

Each year we will accept member applications in the fall. Once your application has been reviewed we will ask to meet with you for a brief interview. Member applications are due November 1st.

Member terms are 5 years beginning on January 1.
