In June we held a “Summer Sizzle” at the track, a tractor/truck pull similar to our Friday night event during fair week. More concrete work was completed finishing the sidewalks down in the carnival area. H Trailer/Tent Application – used for parents to apply to stay overnight at the fairgrounds during fair week. By signing the tent/trailer application, you are agreeing to follow the Warren County Farmers’ Fair rules. Since only parents may apply to spend the night with their children, they do not need to have a criminal background check.

Also installed on the front of the stage was a sign naming the stage the “Cornplanter Stage.” The fair bought 2 acres of property behind the domestic buildings. Trees were removed, dirt leveled off on some of the property and fenced off to make a cart path for handicapped golf carts and emergency vehicles. By 2016 decisions will be made as to the full use of the property. The old office had served its purpose, but just was not set up in the technical world as is now necessary.
2022 Herdsman Application – Packet for youth to apply to be herdsmen for their club. Herdsmen stay over night at the fairgrounds but do not sleep in tents/trailers. By filling out the herdsman application you are agreeing to adhere to the WCFF policies and the guidelines for herdsmen. Youth who have responsibilities of caring for their animals after fair hours may stay overnightwith parental consent and supervision. If youth are found on the fairgrounds after hours without parental supervision, they will be escorted to security for parents to pick up.

Our computer systems were upgraded, using RAC software.
Once again, with the help of endless and tireless volunteers, the building was completed by the time the fair opened. Renovations continued on the Cornplanter Pavilion Food Booth in 2009. The Motor Sports Arena celebrated it’s 25th year at the fair. The Friday night Tractor Pull and Stockcar Football on Saturday night continue to be track favorites.

This is an ongoing project, but definitely a necessary one. Money was donated by her family to honor the adult and the youth who won the most ribbons in the still exhibit categories. In 1969 the first permanent restroom facilities were constructed. The horseshoe pits designed for big league competition were also built. All volunteer work was done by the horseshoe people on their facility.

A new entry for carnival equipment was finished in the spring. Most lighting at the fair has been replaced with newer, more energy efficient lighting. Renovations of the food booth at the Cornplanter pavilion continued also with a new hood ventilation system installed and some remodeling done. In 2008, our food booths were upgraded and much work was done on ticket booths. For the first time, premium books were published by our local Warren Times Observer. That year a well was drilled and a pump house contracted.
Bates Brothers Amusements provided rides for all ages. The fair moved into the communications era in 1989 with its first Media Luncheon for the local radio stations, newspapers and other media staff. Now several local stations attend the event and broadcast live at the fair throughout the week. Preferred parking agreements must be signed and paid by June 1st to secure your space for the 2023 Fair. Preferred parking agreements will be emailed in mid-May. Additional parking spaces will be available for purchase after the first weekend in June.
The following year the “Warren County Agricultural Society” was formed, and nineteen annual fairs were held. There were three fairs missing during the Civil War years, and in 1871 the Society died from lack of interest and support. 4-H Building Watch – used for signing youth up to do a 2 hour shift in the 4-H pavilion during fair week where the club posters, crafts, photography, etc. will be displayed. 2019– In June the fairgrounds was flooded from a rainstorm. The KeyBank Pavilion and the red domestic building was flooded with little damage to either building.
Available sites will be offered at the campsite auction on the second weekend in June at the Fairgrounds campground. Cloverbud Participation – Use the regular show entry form and indicate CLOVERBUD on it. Cloverbud (K-3) exhibits are part of the shows, but do not get judged. In 2016 the drainage ditch from the campground to near the Fair Museum was replaced as well as painting and sprucing up the fairgrounds.
