Fair Board discusses fair-book content, sponsor deadlines and Spanish translation for sponsor materials
Summary
The board reviewed fair-book content needs and deadlines, set sponsor artwork dates (April 16–May 1; mid-May print target), and discussed translating sponsor materials into Spanish; a State Farm representative asked about expanding sponsorships to a $4,000 combined package.
Staff provided an update on the 2026 Fair Book and listed items still required before publication, including the free-strolling schedule, Big Top entertainment schedule, corn-hole/race-day details, Exhibit Hall class lists and new “Super Horse” class information. Deadlines for sponsor artwork and submissions were set: April 16 (graphic designer-built ads), April 25 (sponsor-provided ads), May 1 (sponsor-designed ads due to graphic designer), with a mid-May target for print.
The board discussed translating sponsor material into Spanish and expressed interest in pursuing translated materials for title-sponsorship opportunities. Katie Murphy of State Farm inquired about combining a Figure 8 Race secondary sponsorship with her Gold sponsorship for a combined package of $4,000; the board decided not to discount sponsorships while full benefits remain available. Staff will follow up on translation options and confirm sponsor commitments and artwork timing.
The fair-book timeline means staff must finalize missing content and materials promptly to meet printing deadlines in mid-May.
