Dear Fair Friends,

The current circumstances involving the COVID-19 pandemic are presenting many challenges and uncertainty for the 2020 Fair season. We are communicating with state leaders, health directors, other county fair officials, and the Ohio Fair Managers Association regarding fair information.

At this time the Senior Fair Board is researching many different options for our fair while waiting for direction from Governor DeWine. Information will be shared when possible.

Please be patient during this time and feel confident that the Senior Fair Board will make a decision that will be best for fair participants and the general public, with the main focus on keeping everyone safe.

We look forward to sharing information with you soon. Thank you for being loyal fair folks – we cannot do this without you.

Sincerely,

Tracey Koszalka

President, Portage County Randolph Fair

As you are aware, the various buildings on the fairgrounds are available for rental. We maintain a schedule of events here on the website. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has caused the cancellation of most events until (at least) the end of May. The events scheduled in June and beyond are still on the calendar pending direction from the state and/or the event coordinator. Please check with the coordinator/contact person of an event to see if cancelled. The fair office does not always have current information. We will keep the schedule updated as best we can.

Since OSU has suspended face-to-face meetings until July 6^th, and with the current stay-at-home orders, our Jr. Fair livestock tag-in will be completed through the below google docs for May 16^th. The DEADLINE is May 16^th by 8pm for this virtual tag-in. Please note, a picture of your animals identification scrapie tag (goat and sheep), or ear notch (swine) along with a side view of animal is needed as well as personal information for this virtual tag-in. If you have any questions, please contact your advisor, a committee member for your respective animal, or Emma George – Jr. Fair Coordinator. Please go to the link for more information.
