Every Great Fair Needs Great Leaders — Even Young Ones!
When you think about the Washington County Agricultural Fair, you might picture thrilling rides, delicious fair food, prize-winning livestock, and packed grandstands. But behind all that magic is a dedicated group of young leaders who help make it all happen — the Junior Fair Board.
Who They Are
The Junior Fair Board is made up of local youth who share a passion for agriculture, community, and leadership. These students volunteer their time year-round, working alongside the Senior Fair Board to help plan, organize, and run the fair.
What They Do
From coordinating livestock shows to assisting with 4-H and FFA events, the Junior Fair Board takes on big responsibilities. You’ll see them helping in show rings, guiding exhibitors, answering questions from visitors, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. Their energy and dedication keep the fair moving — rain or shine.
Why It Matters
For many members, the Junior Fair Board isn’t just about volunteering; it’s about developing leadership skills, learning event management, and building lifelong friendships. They gain real-world experience that benefits them far beyond the fairgrounds. And for the fair, these young leaders ensure traditions continue while also bringing fresh ideas and perspectives.
Celebrating the Next Generation
The Washington County Agricultural Fair is proud of its Junior Fair Board members and the important role they play. They’re proof that the future of our fair — and our agricultural community — is bright. So, the next time you see a Junior Fair Board member in their official shirt, be sure to say “thank you” for all their hard work.
