Jaycee Fair

02/22/2025

To our friends, neighbors, partners, former Jaycees, and the greater community…

We thank you for joining with us last summer as we tried something different. It was well received by the community and much appreciated by all that participated.

As we embark on 2025, we face some great challenges yet again. Rising venue and logistics costs, rising utility costs, drastic insurance increases and challenges, rising security costs and more. All the while, we heard loud and clear from our vendors and food concessionaires that their product, staffing, and logistics costs and challenges continue to rise as well.

After much consideration and deliberation as a volunteer group, we have made the tough decision to retire the Jaycee Fair. There will be no Jaycee Fair this summer.

We have a new event concept that the Jaycees are planning. And rest assured, we are willing it to be a great new tradition with some familiar faces.

Sincere thanks for a great tradition with the Jaycees and we hope you will join us at one of our other community events.

Regards,

Eric Smer
2025 Jaycee President of the Board

We know how much goes into planning the food, rides and fireworks. Our neighbors in Canal Fulton won’t let Mother Nature damper that planning. Fireworks are now tonight! Stop out and enjoy the same rides and many of the same food vendors we had 2 weeks ago!

UPDATE! Due to tomorrow’s forecast, the fireworks at the Olde Canal Days Festival will go off TONIGHT at 10:00pm!
