Junior Fair Board

The board will consist of no more than twenty (20) members and the number of new members selected each year will be enough to maintain the board. Assistant advisors can be added; however, they must be approved by the BCF Board.

The purpose of the Junior Fair Board (JFB) is to provide young adults with an opportunity to develop leadership skills, perform community service and become aware of the business and operations of the Bedford County Fair. Junior Fair Board member duties will include providing outreach in the member's communities and schools as well as providing input to the Board of Directors as to what their age groups would like to see at the fair. The Junior Fair Board’s efforts will include pre-fair set up in all areas of the fair and involvement in other fair activities. During the fair, Junior Fair Board members will assist with various tasks during the week.

The Junior Fair Board will be under the direction of Advisers, Troy and Susie Mickle, Assistant Advisors, Emily Clark and Wyatt Wigfield, Junior Fair Board Committee and the Board of Directors.

This is an incredible opportunity to expose young individuals to a very unique and exciting industry plus put you in touch with your fair in a way that would be hard to do any other way. Applications and information are available at the Fair office or by clicking on the links below.
