Wabash County 4-H Fair Advertising & Sponsorship Online Auction!
Support the 4-H Fair Association with Naming a Building or Sponsoring a Utility - Great Advertising Opportunity with Signage Staying Up Year Round!
The Wabash County 4-H Fair is more than a summer tradition - it is a powerful example of what a community can build together. This year, 450 local youth have dedicated countless hours to projects that teach them responsibility, leadership and pride in a job well done.
When the fairgrounds open for fair week, those efforts will be shared with the entire county, drawing between 20,000 and 40,000 attendees who come to celebrate the hard work of our young people and the spirit of Wabash County. This event creates lasting memories for both participants and guests, strengthens community connections and inspires the next generation.
But it wouldn't be possible without the continued support of the community through donations that provide opportunities, resources and recognition for our youth - ensuring the Wabash County 4-H Fair remains a place where young people can grow, learn and shine for years to come.
Starting this year, the Wabash County Fair Association is offering the chance for individuals and businesses to purchase the naming rights of a building at the fairgrounds for the 2026 4-H Fair. With a winning bid, the business will name the building for the year with a 2x5 sign.
All business names will remain on the buildings for one year - the 2027 year slots will be sold at the live auction on July 17, 2026.
Along with building names, individuals and businesses can also support the 2026 Wabash County 4-H Fair this year by sponsoring a utility bill. These sponsorships may seem simple, but they play a meaningful role in keeping the fair running smoothly - from powering barns and lighting the grounds to providing water to livestock and exhibitors. By covering these expenses, businesses are lessening financial pressure in one area to allow the fair's resources to be more directed toward youth programs and educational opportunities.
If you or your business are looking to contribute on a smaller level, outside donations can also be made toward the general costs of fair operations by using the "Donate Here" buttons located on each lot.
We are excited for this new opportunity for both local business promotion & the fair alike. Your support helps us continue improvements & we want to thank you in advance for your continued support of the Wabash County 4-H Auction!
