Fundraisers

The Marion County Fair is in the early stages of a capital improvement campaign to perform major renovations throughout the fairgrounds. Renovations are planned that will benefit the 4-H Youth Programs, annual fairgoers and year round patrons of the fairgrounds and its facilities. The Marion County Fair has a long and proud history of promoting agriculture in an increasingly urban environment. The brick campaign, in conjunction with memorial benches and picnic tables, allows community members to have a lasting presence. Donors have the option to have their bricks placed in front of the cattle barn in a garden area to be dedicated to Past, Present and Future Marion County Agriculturalists, in the Veterans Memorial Garden, or elsewhere on the fairgrounds pending project completion. The funds from brick sales will be used to create and enhance the two gardens, perform a complete renovation of the historic cattle barn, and allow for upgrades to other infrastructure throughout the facility. These are spaces that will be enjoyed by Marion County community members for years to come.

Supporters of the Marion County Fair Board can purchase Memorial Bench & Picnic Table Engravings as fundraisers for capital improvements needed around the fairgrounds.

In order to have your benches or tables ready by the upcoming fair, you need to complete your order by May 31. Orders placed after May 31 will be filled in order of receipt and placed when available.

Fairgrounds staff will place benches & tables in appropriate gathering spaces. You may request a specific location when purchasing, but please understand the placement is at the final discretion of fair staff.
