Hello, and Welcome to the Friends of The Lorain County Junior Fair Website. We have provided a brochure (see our links list) on how to join or contribute and some information about the purpose of our organization. You can print this document and share it with anyone you wish. We are currently trying to locate Lorain County 4-H and Junior Fair Alumni that may not know that Lorain County is at risk of losing the OSU Extension Office including the Junior Fair in Lorain County. Please help us Save Lorain County Junior Fair!!!

Our next monthly board meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 7 pm
The meeting will be held at Farm Credit Office, 530 S Main Street, Oberlin.
All meetings are open to the public and we appreciate visitors and additional support.
We will be doing the hay bale decorating contest at the Lorain County fair again this year. We participated last year and received an honorable mention ribbon. We felt that was very nice of the judges because we did not do it to win a prize. We do this for the promotion opportunity. We are continually trying to get the word out to everyone in Lorain County about the serious problem we have with the funding of our 4-H program in Lorain County. We have found that there are people in the county who are still not aware and some who do not believe there is even a problem and are spreading false information. Our sincere thanks to everyone who has helped us in any way by donating to our fundraisers, making cash donations and helping to spread the word.

The Friends of Lorain County Junior Fair have received a $4,000 donation from the Lorain County Dairy Youth Auction. We know how much work went into raising that money and thank you for your wonderful donation.
We are making some changes to our annual gala fundraiser event this year. First, the event will be held earlier in the year. The date this year will be on Saturday, November 16, 2013. Second, the event will be held in fair hall at the Lorain County Fairgrounds. We are still in the planning stages of this event but would like everyone to mark their calendars and save the date.
As always we are planning a fun filled evening for everyone. More information and tickets will be available soon.
With the help of a generous donation the Friends of Lorain County Junior Fair are holding a Tractor Raffle Fundraiser. Bruce and Michele Becher have donated to us a 1957 John Deere 720 Diesel Tractor for the purpose of the raffle fundraiser. The tractor runs and is fully operational. Raffle tickets to win the tractor are currently on sale for $10 each and available from any board member. The winning ticket will be pulled at the Reverse Raffle Fundraiser event held on Saturday November 16, 2013 at the Lorain County Fairgrounds. Winner does not have to be present.

Contact any board members with any question

Our Thanks to Bruce and Michele Becher for the wonderful donation.
