What is a fair? According to the dictionary, a fair is a competitive exhibition (as of farm products), usually with accompanying entertainment and amusements. Have you been to a fair recently? Think about all the things you saw. You probably observed the usual entertainment food, such as cotton candy. There might have been a few of the traditional rides, like the ferris wheel. But the key difference between a fair and a festival or carnival is the fact that a fair has several contests involving farm animals or produce; you will always see various animals or the best-grown vegetables at a fair.

Below is a list of the different categories of information you can find in our site:

Find A Fair: Enter in your criteria and find a fair that is close to home!

Find An Associate: Narrow your search down by filling out the forms to find an associate!

State and Provincial Associations: Many states or provinces have their own annual meeting. This site is your resource for finding out what is going on in your local area. Visit an association's web site by clicking on its name, view programs for upcoming meetings, or look for workshop handouts and wrap-ups.
