Junior Fair Board Eligibility and Elections
All youth entering the 9th grade in the fall of 2020 are eligible to run for the Shelby County Junior Fair Board. There are two routes for joining Junior Fair Board:
(1) Candidate for Election Route: This is ONLY for townships with an impending opening. Once an application is submitted, candidates are placed on a ballot for election by their peers. Voting will take place throughout the Junior Fair week (exact dates and times TBD). Any junior fair exhibitor with a valid fair pass for the current year can vote.
(2) Appointment Route: This is for youth who do not live in a township with an opening or youth who run in the election but do not get elected. Appointment interviews will be held the last day of the fair at a time TBD.
Intent to run for election and/or appointment will be declared via an updated form that we are working to finalize. We will send out the form and post it on our website as soon as it is ready. If a youth in your family is interested in applying to the Junior Fair Board, please email Cassie at Dietrich.145@osu.edu so she can add your youth to the interest list and ensure they get all the necessary information for applying
