Sponsorhip Information

How can a sponsorship help me promote my business and support the 4-H & FFA Organizations?

The Fair gives more than 900 Carroll County youth the opportunity to showcase their agricultural knowledge, creative talents, technical knowledge, and leadership skills they have learned through 4-H and FFA. It has been voted as one of ‘Carroll’s Best’, and draws thousands of visitors each year.

Every year, our Fair grows! Not only are the 4-H and FFA programs growing, but the area’s population is growing, and our advertising reaches out to more and more people every year. As attendance increases, so does the need to expand our entertainment and facilities; to help cover our costs for these, we offer sponsorship opportunities. These sponsorships provide an opportunity for your business to promote its name and product or service to the thousands of Mid- Atlantic consumers who attend the Fair throughout the week. Promotional benefits vary across levels, but can include; daily fair week PA announcements, complimentary vendor/display space, banner display, Sponsor Recognition ads, website recognition, and passes for parking and event entry, to name a few. In addition to promoting your business, sponsoring an event or facility at our fair also offers a fun way to show your support for the organizations of 4-H and FFA, which have such a positive influence on thousands of youth in our area.

Carroll County 4-H & FFA Fair has sponsorship opportunities for every business. Each level has a variety of business benefits, along with the peace of mind of knowing your tax-deductible gift is helping in shaping the youth of our area. Contact Debbie Weishaar, fair manager 410-848-3247, for the level that works best for your company.
