Fair board

The Benton Franklin Fair Association was founded in 1948. The fair association is a non-profit public charity that produces the fair and rodeo each year. The group’s mission is “to provide a quality event for the community in a safe and comfortable environment. The event will promote public education related to our agricultural heritage, seek quality family-oriented entertainment and activities, encourage youth and community participation and promote commercial opportunities recognizing the vast cultural diversity of our community.”

That’s a tall order to fill and the fair association is proud to have accomplished that mission for 60 years. Please join us in celebration at the Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo, Aug. 19-23.
