🚨FAIR WEEK UTV/GOLF CART POLICY UPDATE🚨

To help maintain a safe and family-friendly environment for all fairgoers, exhibitors, vendors, and staff, the Jay County Fair Board has approved an updated UTV / Golf Cart Policy for Fair Week and scheduled fair activities.

Due to increasing safety concerns and heavy pedestrian traffic during the fair, UTVs and golf carts will NOT be permitted to be driven throughout the fairgrounds during fair week activities.

Key reminders:
• Entry is only permitted through the South Main Gate ( #1) at Votaw & Morton Street
• All UTVs and golf carts must be parked immediately in the designated parking area inside Gate #1
• No exceptions will be made

For events that require UTVs or golf carts (example: drag races):
• Vehicles should preferably be brought in on a trailer and unloaded directly into the infield
• If a trailer is not used, the vehicle must enter through the South Main Gate #1 and drive directly to the infield without stopping or traveling through other areas of the grounds

These measures are being implemented to help protect our guests and keep the fairgrounds safe for everyone attending the Jay County Fair.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding as we continue working to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

🚜🛠️ 🎡🎠 Fair prep mode is officially underway at the Jay County Fairgrounds!

The Jay County Fair Board spent the day hard at work preparing the fairgrounds for another exciting fair season! From cleanup projects and maintenance to getting buildings and grounds ready, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make the fair a success each year.

We are incredibly thankful for our dedicated board members and volunteers who continue to give their time and effort to help make the Jay County Fair one of the best traditions in our community.

The countdown is officially on… only 34 days until the 154th Annual Jay County Fair kicks off on June 27th! 🎡🎠🎶🐄

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the fairgrounds for another great year full of memories, entertainment, livestock shows, delicious fair food, and fun for the whole family!
