Hall of Fame

Thank you for your interest in the 2025 Ohio State Fair Hall of Fame. Nominations were due on March 1, 2025. Please check back for information on the 2026 Hall of Fame nominations process later.

The Ohio State Fair Hall of Fame was established in 1976 for the purpose of recognizing individuals who have made outstanding contributions toward making the Ohio State Fair one of America’s premier expositions. The Governor selects the inductees into the Ohio State Fair Hall of Fame each year. The nominating committee, whose task it is to make recommendations to the Governor, will meet in April.
