A heartfelt thank you to Jelli's Market for being a proud sponsor of the Jefferson County Fair! 🌽🍓

The members of Jelli's Market go above and beyond working year-round for our 5 days in July. Lindsay Baneck is a member of our Fair Board. She was a part of the team that secured the Red, White, and Blue tractor that sat out front of the fair this year, and does much more throughout the year for Ag Education!

Libby Knoebel has participated as an exhibitor, superintendent, Fairest of the Fair, and now the chair of the Fair Park Committee! Attending monthly meetings to help better the Fair and Fair Park is a part of her regular schedule.

All members of the Jelli's Market family have been involved in the Fair for the longest time, with mom of the operation, Jody Knoebel, being inducted into our Hall of Fame in 2025.

We're incredibly grateful for Jelli's Market's support of the Jefferson County Fair and for everything they do to promote local agriculture and strengthen our community. Offering scholarships, employment for youth, engagement in agriculture, and much more, they are a great community partner. Thank you for investing in our fair, and helping to strive for innovation while keeping the tradition alive at our Fair. We truly appreciate your partnership!

Have you seen our 2025 Fairest of the Fair, Hanna Brattlie, learning the ropes at Jones Dairy Farm this summer? She had the opportunity to intern at this historic facility to help expand her knowledge about the meat industry.

Thank you, Jones Dairy Farm, for championing local talent and supporting our Fair community year after year. Your dedication to developing young professionals helps to make a difference!

A sincere thank you to Gallitz Grading for being a partner of the Jefferson County Fair.

They help prepare the grounds and get our pit ready for the tractor and truck pulls. Gallitz grading plays a crucial role behind the scenes. Their hard work, dedication and continued support help make it possible for us to welcome all our fairgoers each year.
Simply put, the Jefferson County Fair would not be the same without Gallitz Grading. Their commitment to our fair and our community is something we are truly grateful for.

Thank you Galltiz Grading for everything you do to help make the Jefferson County Fair a success!
