the union county fair

It's the most anticipated week of the year for our area kids AND parents! Started in Afton, Iowa, in 1953, the Union County Fair has been "Raising Traditions" by encouraging hard work, cultivating leaders, and providing a week's worth of entertainment for all generations.

Kids' day at the union county fair

Greater Regional Health has partnered with the Union County Fairgrounds to provide entertainment, games, and a whole lot of fun for our Kids' Day activities! We had so much fun last year, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for this year. In order to provide a day that is safe & fun for all ages, GRH is asking for sponsors, volunteers, and partners. If you'd like to join in on the fun, contact Maddie Simmons at maddies@greaterregional.org, or call her at (641)782-3874. Find more information below!

Thank you to our sponsors

The Union County Fair would be nothing without our many generous sponsors. We are so fortunate to live in a community that enjoys supporting our youth! Thank you to each business, family, or individual who chose to sponsor the 2023 Union County Fair!
