The Vermilion County Fair

It’s National Volunteer Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize the volunteers who bring our fair to life! (Even more than just pictured here!)

What many see in just a few days of fun takes months of hard work, passion, and teamwork, and it never goes unnoticed. Thank you for your commitment to our community and for the many hours spent working being the scenes to create something everyone can enjoy. We truly appreciate all that you do!

Thank you, members of the Vermilion County Fair Board! 🎡❤️
