Superintendents needed

The San Juan County Fair is in critical need of superintendents for the Fine Art Department and the Photography Department.

“It will not be possible for these departments to accept exhibitor entries unless we have a superintendent,” said Jennifer Allen, fair manager. “This is getting to the critical point as the fair is just four weeks away. We are hoping that someone will step forward soon. This would be a great opportunity for an organization or group to take over these popular exhibits.”

This position is in the front line of volunteering and comes with multitudes of appreciation and even some nice fair perks. It isn’t a solo act, so you can also sign up to help out in any of the departments working during exhibitor entry day to take a shift or more during the fair or working on exhibit pick-up day.  Give the fair a call at 378-4310 and let them know you want to get involved, or fill out an online volunteer application at www.sjcfair.org/p/get-involved!/226.

Sign up to be a performer

Enjoying the performances of local talent at the San Juan County Fair has always been one of the highlights for many fairgoers.

“Listening to a group of young players rock the stage with their band, watching a unique dance piece or just mellowing out to a friend’s solo acoustic set reminds us that the fair is truly a showcase of our islands’ talents,” say organizers.
