The Polk County Fair is more than a 3 day Fair. It is a year-round events facility that benefits the community. It not only serves as the center of many shows and activities it also contributes to the local economy by making a significant financial impact to PolkCounty businesses. During the past fiscal year the fairgrounds has hosted 543 private and public events, with the attendance for those uses exceeding 100,000 people. In addition, many of those events were focused on serving and improving the youth and families of PolkCounty through groups such as 4H, FFA, Cub Scouts, and private non-profits. These types of events raised $235,792.00 that was reinvested back into the community.

The Annual Fair itself is a celebration for the community. A time to get together, slow down, enjoy being with family, breathe and create memories that last a lifetime. One of the most important ways that this is made possible is through banner sponsorships. It generates needed revenue and provides businesses in our area with an avenue to show visitors and guests to the area that they support the Polk County Fairgrounds and EventsCenter. There are four levels of sponsorship available to you.

Sponsorship of $250.00 – Allows for a banner advertising your business to be hung in the main building the entire year.

Sponsorship of $500.00 – Provides the same opportunities for your banner as well as your banner hung in the area you pick during the Annual Fair, plus public recognition during the Annual Fair thanking your business for your sponsorship. In addition, your business will be listed on our website & on our Annual Fair posters. It will also include 25 free passes to the fair for you to distribute to employees, clients or to advertise your business.

Sponsorship of $1,000.00 – Provides the same opportunities as above plus a banner ad in our printed premium book promoting your event and sponsorship (Ads must be in by May 1, 2016).

Sponsorship of $1,500.00 – Title Sponsor - Providesthe same opportunities as above; headline announcements during the Fair in the area of your choice, plus a Commercial display space (size to be determined by the needs of your business) for the run of Fair.

Your sponsorship dollars are very important to the continued success of the Polk County Fair. Join other businesses in support of the worthy community events center.

Sincerely,

Tina Andersen, Polk CountyFairgrounds and EventsCenter Manager
