Why is it necessary to have the Van Wert County Fair Endowment Fund?
The Van Wert County Agricultural Society is privately owned. The purchase of a membership certificate prior to the annual fair entitles you to membership in the society. Operating monies come in several different forms. Funding comes from the fair and other events held on the fairgrounds during the year. We also receive some funding from the Van Wert County Commissioners and from the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Even with these sources, additional financial resources are needed to maintain the fairgrounds and support the Van Wert County Fair.
