🚨🚨 We wanted to make another post-fair Facebook post to clear the air on some questions and concerns from the 2026 fair.
We thank all of you for your generous support, presence, and patience as we only want the best for all of our attendees and we always try our absolute hardest to make that happen.
We’ve “heard” you loud and clear (no pun intended), the sound system was our greatest inconvenience this year. We tested the system several times pre-fair, but unfortunately systems and technology are not always in our favor. It is extremely difficult to fix systems like this in the middle of an event, let alone back to back events in a quick weekend. While our volunteers tried their best to achieve this mid-fair, we didn’t get there. We know this issue is incredibly important and needs fixed. THIS IS ALREADY OUR TOP PRIORITY. We thank those that came to us with concerns AND we have a great community - we’ve had a few donors step forward to help us ensure this system gets fixed properly. If you’d like to be included in that list of donors, please contact us. These events just DO NOT happen without all of the fantastic support we have from our community.
Taking the sound issue one step further, one repeated concern was over 50/50 Raffle Ticket winners. We tried our best to have volunteers and fairboard members spread throughout the crowd to repeat winning ticket numbers and locate winners in the crowd. While we want to respect our winners’ anonymity, we can confirm that each winner WAS FOUND.
Lastly, please consider checking out pages from the event sponsors we had throughout the fair as many of them do a fantastic job of posting additional pictures and winners from their event!!

We want to sincerely apologize for the speaker system issues we had. We do our best pre-fair to make sure everything is running in proper condition, and we couldn’t have predicted the issues we had this year. However, we appreciate your support and grace as we “go back to work” on preparing for the 2027 season.
With love and appreciation,
The Big 4 Fair Board
