The Brown County Fair Association hosted their annual member appreciation dinner at the home economics building of the Brown County Fair Grounds Monday evening. Hundreds of attendees enjoyed a meal of pulled pork sandwiches or wraps along with cole slaw, jalapenos, pickles, chips and drinks.
Membership in the Brown County Fair Association supports not only the upkeep of the fairground facilities but also supports the youth of Brown County through the annual Youth Fair and premium sale. Many exhibitors use their premium funds to travel to major stock shows and to save for college.
Memberships are available from BCFA board members for an annual fee of $20. Click here for more information about the BCFA, Brown County Rodeo and Brown County Youth Fair.
