Editor’s note: The following press release was received from the Jefferson County administrator.
The Jefferson County Fair Park Committee is asking interested community members to apply for a position on the Fair Advisory Board. This newly created body will serve in a purely advisory capacity. Its purpose is to preserve and improve the annual Jefferson County Fair by reviewing related policies and making recommendations to the Jefferson County Fair Park Committee to enhance the planning, development, and execution of the County Fair.
“When we sought input on ways to continually improve the Jefferson County Fair, creating this Advisory Board clearly became a top priority,” said Blane Poulson, Chair of the Fair Park Committee. “We are fortunate to have so many people in Jefferson County who care deeply about the County Fair’s success, and we invite everyone with an interest to apply so we can build as strong a team as possible.”
The Advisory Board will meet between 10 and 15 times per year, with two-year terms that expire on August 31st. A maximum of 20 spots are available on the Board, with the Fair Park Committee members making the final selection based on relevant experience, with every effort made to find individuals who represent a cross-section of local stakeholders.
Applications can be found through the Employment Opportunities section of Jefferson County’s website, or by e-mailing MLuckey@jeffersoncountywi.gov. Completed applications are due back by December 6th.
