Ohio State Fair Junior Fair Board The Ohio State Fair JFB is made up of our great state’s best and brightest young leaders, hand-picked to contribute to the success of the Fair.

The Ohio State Fair Junior Fair Board is made up of our great state’s best and brightest young leaders, hand-picked to contribute to the success of the Ohio State Fair each year. Selected to represent their respective youth organizations, these students serve on behalf of thousands of students across Ohio. As representatives of 4-H, FFA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Farm Bureau, they are able to share their experiences and emphasize the value of the Junior Fair with patrons throughout the 12 days of the Fair. For these dedicated Junior Fair Board members, the passion for the Fair is in their blood. They have risen through the ranks over the years, spending their childhood summers caring for livestock animals, exhibiting their projects at both the county and state level, attending group meetings, assuming leadership roles, taking part in summer camps and growing, all while these organizations have shaped their lives. These students, ages 16-20, come together for two weeks of hard work, building enduring friendships and professional relationships along the way. Their personalities and experiences provide a youthful and fun perspective as they fill many roles during the Fair.

The board had the opportunity to be among the first to ride the brand-new beautifully crafted carousel at the Ohio State Fair, and it definitely did not disappoint! Even more special, we were joined by Ohio’s First Lady, Fran DeWine, who took a spin with us to help celebrate this exciting addition to the fair.🎠

We can’t wait for fairgoers to experience this wonderful new attraction during the 2026 Ohio State Fair. See you there!
