It has come to our attention that clarification is needed regarding paid photography sessions conducted during the 2026 Independence County Fair. After careful discussion and consideration, we have established our position on this matter.

Paid commercial photography sessions that occur on the premises of the 2026 Independence County Fair during fair dates (June 9–13, 2026) will be considered vendor activity. Therefore, any photographer wishing to book mini sessions or photography appointments at the fair is welcome to do so upon payment of the outdoor vendor fee of $125.

To register go to icfair.com and click on Vendor. Registration is open until May 29th.
