about the fundraiser
We love getting together with our community during Fair Week, so let’s put another get-together on the calendar! We’ll have some drinks and a delicious meal, share some laughs and catch up, hear from a few county fair faces, and raise some money for this special fair with a live auction.
Our goal with this fundraiser is to raise enough money to offset the increasing prices of food, entertainment and general operating costs so all extra funds earned (through sponsors, donors, grants, etc.) can go towards making our fair even bigger and better in the near coming years. This means adding more activities, more entertainment, more memory-making fun. It’s a new way to raise money for our fair, in addition to our traditional sponsorship opportunities.
Every dollar we make goes right back into our fair. Here’s a quick list of some of the items your money goes toward when you support the county fair: bedding for livestock, toilet paper and cleaning supplies, trophies and awards, food and food stand supplies, general supplies (this can range from something like wasp spray to random bolts), general operating costs (such as electricity, insurance, water), exhibit judges, daytime and evening entertainment, daily activities, advertising and promotions, repairs and maintenance in our food stands, trash service, portable toilets, hand washing stations, signage… the list goes on.
The Cass County Fair is humbled to have had such immense community support since the beginning over 100 years ago. We hope you’ll continue on this journey with us.
