The Fifty Year Club of the Ohio State Fair — Come join us!
Membership is free
What is the Fifty Year Club?
The Fifty Year Club of the Ohio State Fair, with members who serve as officers and committee chairs, is an organization that holds an annual meeting and celebration during the Fair. The objective of the group is to support, improve and promote the Ohio State Fair and develop fellowship among the members. There is no membership fee and attendance at the annual celebration is open to any person who has attended an Ohio State Fair 50 or more years ago. Family and friends are welcome.
The Fifty Year Club of the Ohio State Fair does not have membership dues, but contributions have been solicited for various projects such as trees and plants for Fairgrounds, Buckeye Grove trees and most recently, support for Ohio State Fair Band and Ohio State Fair Choir.
Who is eligible?
If you have attended one Ohio State Fair 50 or more years ago, (1974 or earlier), plan to join!
