Jr Fair Advisory Board

Let us tell you more!

The Junior Fair Advisory Board (JFAB) is made up of residents in the northern 10 counties of Idaho, age 14-19 as of January 1, 2025. Their purpose is to provide valuable input to the North Idaho State Fair staff and fair board from different perspectives to aid in making our fair a unique and amazing place to call home. This is the perfect opportunity for those seeking leadership experience and community involvement, and that are driven to encourage growth. This group meets monthly before the Fair Board meeting, second Tuesday of every month at 4 pm. Contact fair@northidahostatefair.com for more information.

Individuals meeting the age and resident requirements are welcome to join the Junior Fair Advisory Board at any point through the year, simply complete and submit the membership form and submit to blake@northidahostatefair.com. JFAB members have an additional opportunity to apply for a scholarship program representing various committees of the board; applications to become available after January 1.
