There were some years (during the war) when it was not held as an event (because of the war, etc.) However, it was counted as being in existence. Hence: 2016 will be 100 years. Sponsored by the 15th District Agricultural Association SEPTEMBER 23 THRU OCTOBER 4, 2015 For the third year we are dedicating our catalog to our many volunteers both past and present that are the lifeblood of our Exhibit department. We have lost several of our dear volunteers in the past several years and sincerely do miss them. Some are no longer with us and some have retired but they have contributed countless hours setting up exhibits, making sure that their areas were neat and attractive and taking care to answer countless questions from our wonderful fair-goers. Many of our volunteers that are still working even take their vacation time to come and sit in their departments to greet you. When you come to the fair this year, know that each and every one of these dear people truly love the fair and being here for you. See you at the Great Kern County Fair.
