SR. FAIRBOARD
The Senior Fair Board is one of the governing bodies of the Ottawa County Fair. Other groups, such as the Junior Fair Board and Livestock Sale Committee report to the Senior Fair Board and are considered governed by them. The Senior Fair Board maintains and upkeeps the fair grounds, ultimately decides events at the Fair, and are in charge of all non-youth oriented activities and open shows.

2023 Annual Report
Message from the Fair Board...
The Ottawa County Fair is a proud Northwest Ohio tradition, located just outside of Oak Harbor. For generations, our fairgrounds have been a place where memories are made, traditions are carried on, and life lessons are learned—often right inside our barns.
Each year, our dedicated board members come together with a shared goal: to create a Fair that gives today’s children and grandchildren the same meaningful experiences so many of us grew up with.
As we prepare for the 62nd annual Ottawa County Fair, we look forward to welcoming you back and helping you rediscover the joy of your county fair. From the memories made and events enjoyed to the opportunities created, this year’s Fair is sure to be one to remember.
We hope you’ll join us—bringing along your family, your friends, and maybe even a little cotton candy—as we continue a tradition that means so much to so many.
God Bless,
Ottawa County Senior Fair Board
