Friends of Fountain County Fairgrounds

09/18/2026

Planning is underway for another fundraising banquet for the Fountain County Fairgrounds. This summer, we were graciously awarded a matching grant from the SouthEast Fountain Community Foundation via the Lilly Endowment up to a maximum of $100,000. Help us to make the most of that match! Every dollar we raise helps us to reach our full potential- whether you choose to attend, donate a raffle or auction item, or make a cash donation, it all adds up to help us reach that goal! Save the date now - more details will be announced soon!
