Superintendents

We are excited to kick off another year of the Grant County Fair! Here you will find all the forms needed to be prepared for the 2024 Fair! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the staff.

We just can't thank you enough for your dedication and support throughout the years. Without the help of our Superintendents, volunteers, and 4-H leaders Fair would not be possible. You all are the backbone of our success and we continue to look forward to the years ahead!

Again, please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions!
