SUMMARY:Baraga County Fair Board Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The next meeting of the Baraga County Fair will be held this Wednesday\, May 13th\, at 6:00 PM in the Main Hall. \n  \nThe board is hard at work with big dreams for this year’s fair\, but they need an outpouring of community support to bring these visions to fruition. They are currently looking for volunteers and have a few committee director positions still available for those looking to take on a leadership role. \nAttendees can enjoy snacks and coffee while they share their ideas. Parents are encouraged to attend\, as there will be a designated play area for children available. \n  \nWith the fair only 88 days away\, now is the perfect time to get involved and find out how you can help. We hope to see you there! \nIn addition: Could you let me know what the prices are for advertising? We would like to start running an ad campaign in June/July! \nThank you for your support of the Baraga County Fair!
