About The Fair

Hello and welcome to the 103rd Vanderburgh County Fair!

The county fair is a week many of us look forward to each year as it is a time to showcase our event. From the many Grandstand shows, 4-H/Open Class shows and activities, carnival rides, and various foods. With our Fair bringing in tens of thousands of guests throughout the week, one area that many may not think of is the amount of waste generated, which winds up in the landfill. Our theme, “Keep It Green,” will focus on recycling as all of us can do our part to help the environment. Below are key

recycling facts.

• Without exception, recycling is the top action society can take to improve the environment, economy, sustainable manufacturing, and prevent waste from going into landfills.
• U.S. recycling levels are currently 21.4% (recent EPA-funded Yale University Study)
• When U.S. recycling levels reach 75%, it will be the environmental and CO2 equivalent of removing 55 million cars from U.S. roads yearly.
• The nonprofit standardized label mission is the #1 solution to helping society begin to recycle right and, therefore, help recycling thrive. 

This year’s theme will help us achieve our mission to Educate, Exhibit, and Entertain. We hope everyone enjoys the Vanderburgh County Fair and learns something new that will help each of us in living better, more productive lives.

Special thanks to all our volunteers who help make our Fair one of the best in the State!
