Schuylkill County Fair In Need of Volunteers

Help is always needed to operate the largest weeklong event here in Schuylkill County.


This year’s Fair will run July 30 through August 4, 2018.

This is their 35 year in existence and as a grass roots organization comprised of all volunteers they need your help. 

They are celebrating this year with a theme of “Cheers to 35 years of Farms, Family, Fair, Fun.” 

Volunteer help to put on this event is always need and greatly appreciated.   Help is needed prior to, during, and after the Fair.  Fair volunteers meet on Wednesday evenings during the month of July to prepare the grounds for the Fair.  Help is needed at various venues during the operation of the Fair.   

Although Fair closes at midnight on August 4 there is always help needed to clean up the facility in the day’s following the Fair.  

The Fair is an all-volunteer organization and it is the volunteers that make this event possible.   Our volunteer numbers are dwindling. 

The Fair as an association meets monthly on the third Thursday of the month at 7PM in the Friedensburg Fire Hall October through April. Summer months meetings are held on the fairgrounds and always the third Thursday of the month at 7PM.  These meetings are open to the public and all are welcome. 

If you are interested in helping with this year’s Fair which runs July 30 through August 4, please contact Kim Morgan at 570.739.2627 or kamorgan11@gmail.com.
