Craven County Jaycees Fairgrounds

🚨🚨🚨🚨

Good morning/afternoon Craven County, as many of you may have noticed, the repairs have extended into the month of March. Along with the repairs the construction teams will be working on the front entrance area. We ask that you continue to be patient with us as we work diligently on getting things fixed for our events schedule to continue. As of right now shows for this month will be postponed until further notice. Please be mindful that this organization is a volunteer organization and as such sometimes life happens and requires our members to focus on their personal lives in between fairgrounds matters. We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and remember to stay safe as you begin travels for the warmer months activities! As always we thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you all once repairs have concluded!!

**REMINDER** The fairgrounds location is a physical place of business owned by the Craven Jaycees. The Craven Jaycees are a Non-Profit that do their work from this location and maintain the fairgrounds. They are two separate entities and as such the facilities can be rented for various events. The rental prices have two brackets. One for profit ventures and one for Non-Profit/Charitable ventures. The prices are listed as PER DAY. Host events come with their own guidelines, information and vendor opportunities. The Craven Jaycees will hold events based on availability from openings remaining in the calendar from leased options.

Please be mindful that the fees associated for renting the space for your own events are used to maintain, repair and continue fairgrounds operations.

Fees associated with Entry and Vendors for Craven Jaycees events are split between the fairgrounds upkeep and benefits to other organizations.

We continue to appreciate and thank those vendors who have been willing to work with us during our rebuilding and rebranding phase!!

We still have much work to do in order to make the fairgrounds a beautiful go to spot again and we continue to ask that the community be patient as we make all the necessary changes to repair and update the grounds while also still working with the state for the roadway construction that will be occurring at our front entrance.

Good afternoon Craven County! We would like to remind everyone that. The S & D Gun and Knife Show is this weekend! Bring the Family! $7 at the door and all fi****ms are to be checked upon entry. No firearm is allowed on the premises loaded. There is also a No Tolerance policy for any sort of aggressive behavior and you will be escorted off the site for displaying such behavior. We take safety seriously and want to make sure the facility maintains the safety of the community and it's children. This is an event held by a Host using the venue for their show and as such we ask that you still conduct yourselves as you would for events held by the Jaycees.
