The
Fair Foundation was created to raise, receive and invest funds that will
benefit the Fulton County Agricultural Society. Over the years, we have
worked in tandem with the Fair Board and Junior Fair Board on numerous
improvement projects. Currently we are helping to raise funds to
renovate the east goat barn. We welcome your tax deductible
contributions for this and other future projects.
For more information about contributing to the
foundation, please feel free to contact any trustee or fair board
member. Or you can write to us at:
Fulton County Fair Foundation, P.O. Box 101, Lyons, Ohio 43533.

Fulton County Agricultural Hall of Fame
Enshrinement in to the Agriculture Hall of Fame is the highest recognition awarded for the many outstanding agricultural leaders and farmers of Fulton County. The number of inductees honored each year is at the discretion of the Committee.
Qualification for the selection into the Hall of Fame requires an individual that has been or currently is dedicated to the improvement of American Agriculture.
Candidates come from the ranks of 4-H and F.F.A. advisors, Extension personnel, Farmers, and Agri-business people. Candidates can be male or female, living or deceased, with age being no barrier. Some will have lived and worked their entire lives in Fulton County; others may have only resided or worked in Fulton County for a short period of time.
The Hall of Fame Committee is comprised of representatives from the following local organizations: Fulton County Agricultural Society, Co-op Extension, Vo-Ag, Historical Society, Cattlemen’s Association, Pork Chop Club, Dairy Service Unit, Farm Bureau and the Granges. The Hall of Fame member plaques are on display during the fair in the Merchant #2 building just north of the grandstand.
Application forms are available at the Fulton County Extension office and must be returned by July 15.
