Welcome to the Jr. Fair Board Information Page

 

Thank you for your interest in being part of the Potter County Fair Junior Fair Board. We here at the fair are very excited about expanding the involvement of our youth in the planning, preparation and presentation of the annual Potter County Fair. Candidates must be age 14-19 by January 1, be eligible for this very special program.

.
            The purpose of the Junior Fair Board is to provide young adults with an opportunity to develop leadership skills, perform community service and become aware of the business and operations of the Potter County Fair. Board member duties will include providing outreach in the members' communities and schools as well as providing input to the fair staff and Fair Board as to what their age groups would like to see at the fair. The Junior Fair Board's efforts will also include pre-fair set up in all departments of the fair and involvement in all of the pre-fair activities.  During the fair, board members will assist with various tasks including, assist with exhibit receiving and release, ribbon placement, assist with special contests on stages and/or in departments, help conduct opening ceremonies, have entertainment opportunities, and provide general assistance as needed.

            The Junior Fair Board will be under the direction of the advisors selected by the Fair Board. Each Junior Fair Board member will serve a term of one year and you may reapply each year if you wish. Meetings will be scheduled as needed throughout the year.

            This is an incredible opportunity to expose a select group of individuals to a very unique and exciting industry and put you in touch with your fair in a way that would be hard to do any other way. Attached please find an application.
