 WELCOME TO THE 2010 MARION COUNTY FAIR!
We have worked hard over the years to make the Marion County Fair a great family experience. We feel this
year will be no exception. I invite everyone to come and experience our family friendly entertainment, fun
rides and games, great food and well respected livestock shows. The Marion County 4-H and FFA youth have
worked hard to complete their projects and we are proud to showcase their accomplishments.

The Fair Board works very hard to provide a fair that the community can be proud of and look forward to from
year to year. Without the time, effort, and dedication put into the fair by the Fair Board, staff and volunteers
there wouldn’t be a fair. Hopefully all who attend will recognize and appreciate all their efforts. Thanks to our
Sponsors, without you this great event would not be possible. I personally want to thank everyone who helps
to make the Marion County Fair the best fair around!
SEE YOU AT THE FAIR!
