Changes Coming to the Warren County Fair

Share

The Warren County Fair is preparing for significant changes with the construction of a new fair building! Warren County Fair Board’s Carly Thompson shares that the building will not only bring much-needed upgrades to the fair but also help centralize activities. Thompson, who has helped lead the building’s design, shares that it will be located in the front of the fairgrounds and will include new offices for the fair Secretary and President.



“We will have a main fair office. And then on the other side, we’ll have our pageant girls, because they spend so much time during the fair going to all the shows, and they are there more than anyone,” says Carly.

The building will also include storage areas and concessions, to improve traffic flow.

“Then we’ll have the main room, which is like our exhibit room, which is going to be home to the general project show, the flower show, vegetable show, and then possibly the pageant further down if seating allows.”

Work is currently underway to get the building up and usable in time for the 2025 fair, which will take place July 12th through the 19th at the fairgrounds in Roseville.
