The Jessamine County Fair Association, Inc. is a non-profit, charitable organization classified under IRS rules as a 501(c)(3) charity. Our Board of Directors consists entirely of unpaid volunteers.

Are you interested in being a part of our Board of Directors? The Fair Board is always looking for volunteers with a willingness to participate and good moral character! Our meetings are open to the public and you can join by attending one of our meetings and expressing an interest. We meet the second Tuesday of each month (except in October and December) at the Jessamine County Extension Office building at the fairgrounds at 6:00 PM.

If you’d like to be a part of the fair, we invite you to attend a meeting to join or just to ask questions. If you’d like to know more, call us at (859) 885-2828.

The fair is held on Fairground Way in Nicholasville, KY. Address numbers are changing at this time but the street Fairground Way is within the fairgrounds, so that will get you to the fair using any GPS. If you have any troubles, try searching for “Jessamine County Fairgrounds” or City/County Park (adjacent to the fairgrounds). The Cooperative Extension Office is within the fairgrounds as well and that address is 95 Park Drive, Nicholasville, KY. Note that we do NOT receive mail at the Fairground Way addresses. See required public notices at the link below for mailing addresses.

Fairgrounds use and rental information:
The Jessamine County Fairgrounds is owned by Jessamine County Government, not the Fair Association. Rental and use of the fairground facilities are handled by the office of the Jessamine County Judge-Executive. You can reach that office at (859) 885-4500. It should not be assumed that events held at the fairgrounds are connected to or endorsed by the Fair Association.
