Superintendents

Welcome!

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 2026 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!

Decorating Budget & Reimbursements

Still Life Exhibit Buildings: Each Still Life Exhibit Building including the 4-H Building has been allotted up to $300 to decorate for Fair. This is on a reimbursement basis. Please coordinate with the Building Superintendent as each department must share the $300 budget amongst the entire building.

All purchases made by the Superintendent must have a receipt to be eligible for reimbursement.

Reimbursement forms are available in the Fair office. Forms including receipts must be submitted to the Fairgrounds Office no later than thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. All reimbursement claims must be signed or payment will not be processed.
