The Marion County Fair Board is the recipient of the 2015 Community-Based Volunteer Program Region 1 Governor’s Volunteer Award. The award recognizes the work of the Marion County Fair Board for promoting the diverse agricultural and cultural heritage of Marion County. The Fair Board has successfully carried on those traditions since the 1860’s and every year, some 25,000 visit the Marion County Fair, which is held on the State Fair Grounds in Salem. The all volunteer board works to promote economic development, high quality safe events for families and youth and easy and affordable access for all.
