​As the weather begins to warm up, I am thrilled to be looking forward to summer sunshine and the annual Boone County Fair.  The Fair Board has been hard at work planning a fair including more free daytime entertainment, new grandstand shows, and so much more You won’t want to miss your chance to attend and of course, support the 2024 Boone County Fair.
 
Whether you are a long-time fair supporter, or have never been to the county fair, we encourage you to get involved. As a fair supporter, your donation supports a key attraction in your community, as well as invests in hundreds of youth in Boone County.

What better way to get your company’s name in front of the community than supporting the fair? From advertising on our website, social media, and main gate display, to recognition on the donation wall in the community building, fair sponsorship will give back to your business. The level of donation you make will determine the advertising opportunities available to you.
 
As a key member of the community, we are asking for you to support the Boone County Fair. We hope you see the value that fair sponsorship can give back to you.
