When will 2018 fair schedule be published?
Can you email it as soon as it is?
Thank you
We’ll check with our contacts at the Illinois Association of County Fairs – we typically pull these from their website at https://www.illinoiscountyfairs.org. Hope this helps!
I would like you to email me 2018 fair schedule when it becomes published.
Thank You,
Vicki Magrady
Good Morning,
When will this schedule above be published for 2016? Thank you so much.
One of the telephone numbers that is listed with the Saline Co Fair is not a fair number any longer. Would it be possible to remove 618-252-1185? We have not been with the fair for 3 years and we are getting up to 15 calls a day. Thank you in advance. Dennis Wilson
Hi Dennis,
Our website for Partners magazine only features listing of the fair dates and doesn’t have the phone numbers. I think you would have to contact the Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs directly at 815-635-1500. I hope this helps!
Best,
