🎡❤️ As we close the doors on the 87th Pottawatomie County Free Fair, we want to say THANK YOU! ❤️🎡
Thank you to every single visitor who came out to enjoy the fair this year. We hope you made memories, had fun, and enjoyed everything the fair had to offer!
We also want to give a HUGE thank you to all of the people who work behind the scenes. It takes countless hours, hard work, and dedication to put the fair together, keep it running, and tear it all down when the last event is over.
We are so grateful for:
❤️ Tecumseh FFA members
❤️ Bethel FFA members
❤️ Pottawatomie County Jr. Fair Board members
❤️ Pottawatomie County Fair Board members
❤️ Pottawatomie County Extension Office
❤️ Pottawatomie County 4-H members
❤️ Brett, who somehow keeps everyone in line in the fair office! 😉
❤️ Stormi Marlow
❤️ Marlene Marlow
❤️ Josh Grundmann
❤️ Pottawatomie County Farm Bureau
❤️ Suzanne Gilbert
A very special thank you goes to the Pottawatomie County Emergency Management members for donating the light towers that kept the inflatables lit after dark and for bringing in our entertainment stage. We truly appreciate you helping make the fair even better!
And thank you to CPN for allowing us to borrow fans to help keep everyone cool throughout the fair. 🥵➡️😎
We also want to give a big thank you to Lowe’s Home Improvement for generously allowing us to use a lumber cart to transport our grids to and from storage. It may seem like a small thing, but having the right equipment makes a BIG difference when you’re moving fair supplies! ❤️
And of course, we could not have the fair without the financial support made possible through a portion of the penny sales tax collected in Pottawatomie County. We are incredibly grateful for this funding and for the support it provides to the Pottawatomie County Free Fair.
It truly takes a village of volunteers, supporters, businesses, organizations, and community members to put on a county fair, and we cannot say thank you enough to each and every person who gave their time, talents, energy, equipment, financial support, and encouragement.
From the planning, setup, entries, events, entertainment, cleanup, and everything in between — this fair would not happen without you.
From all of us at the Pottawatomie County Free Fair, THANK YOU for making the 87th fair one to remember! 🇺🇸🐄🎡❤️
Until next year… we’ll see you at the fair! 🎠
