Clay County Fair Invites the Community To Join the Fair Family at Blue Ribbon Social
SPENCER, Iowa — The Clay County Fair may only come around once a year, but being part of the Fair Family can last a lifetime.
The Clay County Fair Association invites the community to experience that connection firsthand at the Blue Ribbon Social: A Night Out to Join the Fair Family, Friday, November 13, 6:30 to 10 p.m., at the Clay County Regional Events Center.
Hosted by current Clay County Fair Board members, this adults-only evening is a chance to get together, have fun, and meet the people who help make the Fair happen. For $29 per couple, guests will enjoy Fair-inspired food stations, a live DJ, interactive games, and friendly competition.
Most importantly, they’ll have the chance to discover what it means to be part of the Fair Family, and how to make that connection last a lifetime.
Lifetime membership in the Clay County Fair Association is $100 per person, paid once with no annual dues. Membership is open to everyone, regardless of where they live, and gives members a voice in the future of the Clay County Fair. Members can vote for the Association’s 27-member Board of Directors, attend the annual meeting each February, and, as individual members, run for and hold office.
The Blue Ribbon Social offers a chance to learn about membership from people who already know what it means to be part of the Fair Association.
“There’s something special about being part of the Fair Family,” said CEO Jason Brockshus. “The Blue Ribbon Social is a chance to bring people together, have a great night and show them that being part of the Fair doesn’t have to end when the Fair closes each September. We hope guests come for the experience and leave knowing they have a place in the future of the Fair, too.”
Throughout the evening, guests can eat, play, and experience the Fair Family before deciding whether to take the next step and join. Members who join during the event will receive a special magazine-style photo cover as a keepsake from the night.
Tickets for the Blue Ribbon Social are $29 per couple and go on sale Tuesday, October 13. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Clay County Fair Office, located inside the Clay County Regional Events Center, by calling the Fair Office at 712-580-3000, or by contacting any current Clay County Fair Board member. Limited tickets are available.
The event is for adults 21 and older. A cash bar will be available; guests must be 21 or older to purchase alcoholic beverages.
Come as a guest. Leave with a lifetime connection.
