Junior Fair Board (JFB)
Sponsor a NEW Junior Fair Board Member!
We are excited to have 7 new members joining the Junior Fair Board this year! Congrats to Julia Barber, Ryan Buchwalter, Braeden Neff, Chelsea Steitz, Taylen Thompson, Brianna Downey, and Izabel Peters. Collectively, 30 teens serve as members of the Junior Fair Board along side 3 Junior Advisors. When a new member joins the board, it is an honor to receive the legendary red jacket along with other items to start their JFB experience! We are looking for individuals, organizations, and businesses to sponsor a “new Junior Fair Board Member” at $100. This sponsorship covers their new red JFB jacket, t-shirt, and other supplies needed to start out their first year! If you are interested in sponsoring a new JFB member, please contact a current member, advisor, or 4-H Educator, Leslie Cooksey at cooksey.25@osu.edu.
There are 4 remaining sponsorship opportunities for this year. Help us color in the remaining red jackets and be a sponsor today! Sponsors will be recognized in the Junior Fair Book and announced at Junior Fair shows during fair week.
