As another incredible year at the Brown County Free Fair comes to a close, we want to recognize the people who make it all possible.

A huge thank you to our Fair Board and the many volunteers who put in countless hours before, during, and after the fair. From months of planning and preparation to the long days and late nights of fair week, there is an incredible amount of work that happens behind the scenes.

This group, along with so many dedicated volunteers, works hard to make the Brown County Free Fair something our entire community can enjoy and be proud of year after year.

Thank you for another fantastic fair, and thank you to everyone who came out and supported it. We couldn't do it without this community! ❤️
