Fair Fundraisers

NO ONE connected with the West Valley Fair receives ANY monetary gains from being a part of the fair.  All work is done by volunteers, be they adults or the kids that take part.  It costs NOTHING to park or attend our fair. 

Although we do receive a small amount of money from the State, as all fairs do, it is only about one third of the amount we need to put on our fair.  With the money we raise, we must pay for building repairs and ground maintenance, electric bills, phone bills, insurance, trophies, ribbons, medals, belt buckles, premium money, cash prizes, advertising, etc.  The list goes on.

To raise the $3000-4000 we need each year to put on our fair, we have many fund raising activities.  These include, but are not limited to:

Annual Barbecue.  In May, Saturday of Mother's Day weekend.   Our "all you can eat" dinner starts at 2 PM on Saturday and continues until 8 PM.  In addition to our BBQ, desserts are donated and are available for you to buy at a very reasonable price.

Concession Stand.  At the Tampico Saddle Club's annual rodeo, the weekend following Mother's Day.  If you enjoyed the food at our BBQ, attend the rodeo and check out the leftovers! You must pay to attend the rodeo to have a chance to support the fair by buying food at our concession stand.

Raffle.  Throughout the year, we try to raffle off a 1/2 beef, full pig, and lamb.  Ticket sells start around BBQ time and continue until the fair in August.  Cutting and wrapping is included.
