A FEW WORDS FROM ELIZABETHTOWN FAIR PRESIDENT To everyone in the Greater Elizabethtown Area,
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the 45th annual Elizabethtown Fair. Our Fair serves as a showcase for local talent and reminds us of the agricultural heritage of Lancaster County. It is a place for families and friends to gather and celebrate all the best in our community. It seems fitting that this year’s theme is “An American Tradition,” as this is what the Fair has come to represent for those who visit each year. Forty-five years ago we had our first Fair in the Elizabethtown Community Park. The first year we had one exhibit tent for competitive exhibits, one food stand and a few carnival rides. There were no livestock or commercial vendors, no contests and no entertainment. Forty-five years later we have grown to over 3,000 competitive exhibits, forty foodstands, over 150 commercial exhibitors, and over 800 livestock. We have added entertainment on two stages and daily contests. We offer something for everyone from the Baby Photo Contest to Senior Citizens Day. The Petting Zoo, manned by over 100 volunteers, is a very popular attraction for all ages. We offer a place for youth to come together to show their livestock. The Fair operates with great cooperation from the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church, as the fairgrounds are located on school property and parking is offered on church property. The church also provides an area for Competitive Exhibits to be displayed and a room for our monthly Board Meetings. I would like to thank the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church for being part of the Fair. On behalf of the Elizabethtown Fair Board I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, including volunteers, sponsors, vendors and patrons. I would like to extend a special thank you to the Kiwanis Club of Elizabethtown for their partnership with us in the renovation and expansion of Kiwanis Stage. Without the tremendous community support we receive the Elizabethtown Fair would not exist. The Elizabethtown Fair has continued to grow and serve as a place for us to gather as a community to exhibit, compete, and to entertain and fellowship together. We have successfully been able to bring together agriculture, business, church and education in a great atmosphere.
Thanks for your support and SEE YOU AT THE FAIR! Kenneth D. Myer, President
