WELCOME TO OUR MARCH NEWSLETTER...

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKK!

Hi,this is the PUTNAM COUNTY FAIR speaking:



It's fair to say that

"Kids need us"

Let's pledge to donate a fair amount each month

at our place of employment.

This group of 'givers' continues to grow as more

generous people use a payroll deduction plan at work.

Employers and employees may learn about this program at:

SEE YOU AT THE FAIR:

Visit Feed the Need at the Putnam County Fair

March 20–28

Don’t miss the Feed the Need of Putnam County booth at the 76th Putnam County Fair! Stop by to see our country-inspired display, challenge friends and family to a game of cornhole, and learn how you can help feed local children.

While you’re there, purchase tickets for our 2026 Quilt Raffle, “In His Dreams.” Every ticket helps support our Over the Weekend Backpack Program, providing food for children when school meals aren’t available.

Make plans to visit us at the fairgrounds and be part of the fun!
