The Fifty Year Club of the Ohio State Fair — Come join us!
Membership is free
What is the Fifty Year Club?
The Fifty Year Club of the Ohio State Fair, with members who serve as officers and committee chairs, is an organization that holds an annual meeting during the Fair. The objective of the group is to support, improve and promote the Ohio State Fair and develop fellowship among the members.
The Fifty Year Club of the Ohio State Fair does not have membership dues, but contributions have been solicited for various projects such as trees and plants for Fairgrounds, Buckeye Grove trees and most recently, support for Ohio State Fair Band and Ohio State Fair Choir.
Who is eligible?
If you have attended one Ohio State Fair 50 or more years ago, (1973 or earlier), plan to join!
How to join
Contact Barb Prince, 614-644-4052, or e-mail
b.prince@expo.ohio.gov and request that you be added to the email list. A notice of the annual meeting will be emailed in June providing you the opportunity to order discounted tickets for the fair. A parking permit near the Rhodes Center for the day of our meeting (as space allows and paying the regular parking fee) will also be available. If you miss the mailed information you’re still eligible to attend the Fifty Year Club Meeting.
