Help shape the future of the Stephenson County Fair!
The Fair Association Board has approved a bylaws change adding TWO additional at-large seats to our Board of Directors! With these additions, three at-large seats will be up for election at our Annual Meeting this Thursday, October 22.
We know this is short notice, but we want interested community members to have the opportunity to get involved!

Meeting begins at 7 p.m.; the Annual Meeting.
Interested in serving? Submit your completed Letter of Nomination and a letter of interest BEFORE Thursday’s board meeting begins. The nomination form requires the name and signature of a nominating board member.
