Summary

Fair board president provided an update on the upcoming Delaware County Fair, volunteer involvement and recent infrastructure improvements funded by donations and county support.

Bart Kiesling, president of the Delaware County Fair board, updated the council on the upcoming fair schedule, facility improvements and volunteer involvement.

Kiesling outlined a multi-week schedule of 4‑H exhibits and grandstand events, noting the carnival will run July 15–20 and that organizers have trimmed Monday programming to create a community day. He said the fairboard operates year-round with about 19 to 21 working-board members and many community volunteers.

Kiesling told council members the fair has secured roughly $60,000 in charitable contributions over the past two years to support operations and capital improvements. He said recent funding and grants — plus commissioner support and in-kind donations from local businesses — have enabled projects such as a new sheep barn and electrical work to continue.

Council members and the fair board urged residents to attend and volunteer; several council members praised the board’s work and said they will publicize the fair in the weeks ahead.
