“Let the Good Times Grow”
The 2023 Faulkner County Fair will be the 85th event of this nature. Our success has depended mainly on the help of every organization of men and women in the county and numerous county and
city officials. At the risk of leaving someone out, we especially want to express our appreciation for the assistance given to the Fair by the following: City of Conway (especially the Mayor’s office, the City Council and the Parks & Recreation Department), Faulkner County (especially the County Judge’s office, County Road Department, and Quorum Court), the Agriculture Teachers at all of the County Schools, the many 4-H volunteers, Conway Area Chamber of Commerce, Faulkner County Master Gardeners, the numerous individuals that volunteer to serve on the many Fair committees and all our exhibitors. We offer special gratitude and appreciation to the Extension Agents and staff of the Faulkner County Extension Office without whose assistance we could not conduct our annual Fair.
The fair board also takes this opportunity to say “thank you” to every citizen of Faulkner County (especially those who attend the Fair) for your splendid cooperation in the past. With your continued help and support, Faulkner County will continue to be a “Better Place in Which to Live.”
