Community Support

Fulfilling the part of the mission statement—to provide support to charitable non-profit agencies—the Fair Association offers a discount rental fee to local non-profit entities. In addition, many non-profits make money at the Fair in order to support their work. One such is the 4-H Teen Council Dairy Bar whose profits go towards scholarships and donations to charitable groups. The Association works with local entities in times of emergency, example—housing utility trucks fixing massive storm outages. Events held at the Fairgrounds such as Peters Valley Craft Show, Sussex County Farmers Market and Sussex County Day highlight goods and services available to County residents.
