Deschutes County is accepting applications from residents who are interested in serving as a volunteer on the County Fair Board. There are currently three open positions.

The County Fair Board oversees the operations of the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, which is a 320-acre event site located in Redmond. The Expo Center offers 200,000 square feet of flexible indoor event space, four livestock arenas, five barns, a full-service RV park and more.

Fair Board members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Appointees will serve a non-paid, three-year term, beginning in January 2025 and ending in December 2027. Members are expected to attend twelve meetings a year, held at 3:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. The meetings are held in the board room of the Fair Administration office, 3800 Airport Way in Redmond.

The BOCC strives to have a Fair Board with broad geographic representation and encourages residents from all areas of Deschutes County to apply.

Applications will be accepted until close of business on Friday, Jan. 10.
