Questions???

            Thank you for your interest in our upcoming 2009 fair.  The Porter County Fair has two indoor exhibit areas.  The Commercial Building is an air conditioned, carpeted facility.  The Commercial Tent is an aluminum frame temporary building on a grass lawn.

            The Porter County Fair is eleven days long.  However, the commercial exhibits will only be open 10 days.  The first Thursday is a free admission preview night and only the carnival and food vendors are open. 

            All interested vendors should fill out an application.  Applications will be reviewed in April and contracts will be mailed out.  Applications should be submitted as soon as possible to improve your chances of getting the spot you want.
