We also want to thank the families, advisors, volunteers, buyers, and community members who continue to support the local 4-H youth year after year.

Good luck today, exhibitors! We’re proud to see Champaign County’s young people working hard and representing our community. 🖤

A big shoutout to all of the deputies who have been working throughout the Champaign County Fair! 👏🚓

Before the storms came through, our deputies spent part of the weekend doing one of the best parts of fair week: visiting with families, talking with kids, and handing out stickers and junior deputy badges. 🖤

We know the storms changed the course of the fair and created challenges for many people. We’re grateful for everyone who has worked together to respond, clean up, and keep things moving safely.

Thank you to our deputies for the long hours and dedication, and thank you to our community for looking out for one another.

We’re proud to serve Champaign County, during fair week and every week.
