Turner County Fair Board and Commissioners

Turner County Fair

Board and Officers

The Turner County Fair continues to be the "The Four Best Days of Summer" thanks to the many hours of volunteer labor by our board, committee members, 4-H personnel, superintendents, and numerous other volunteers. All of these people, along with our many fine sponsors, make the Turner County Fair one of the most successful county fairs in South Dakota and typify the spirit that has pervaded and has helped us to continue as the oldest county fair in the state.

Our Directors and Superintendents receive no pay but serve as volunteers, taking time from their own busy schedules to make the fair run smoothly.  Many take time off from their day jobs to be here and work at the fair.  To each of our many volunteers we say a big THANK YOU!
