 The “Friends of Illinois County Fairs” program will continue for the 102nd
Annual IAFE convention to be held next January. The IAAF “Friend of County Fair
Award” program is sponsored by Jeff Blomsness of North American Midway Entertainment.
Your fair may nominate an individual or individuals to be recognized at the 2012 IAAF
Convention. A nominee must be a supporter in some manner of Illinois county fairs. They
need not be an officer, a board member or a superintendent of your fair. However, they
must be dedicated to the support, promotion, and innovative operation of a fair or fairs.
This is a way to recognize the unsung stars of county fairs.
Does your fair have a dedicated volunteer or a community person who is a true county fair
booster? Please consider nominating this person. A fair may submit more than one worthy
candidate for consideration. However, only one person from any one fair may receive the
award in 2012. Any unselected candidates will be reconsidered for 2013 without reapplying.
The candidate must not be deceased at the time of the nomination and must plan on
attending the 2012 IAAF Convention Saturday morning breakfast.
If your fair would like to submit a worthy candidate for consideration, please do the
following:
- Prepare a credentials letter describing why the individual is worthy of recognition.
- Please submit the enclosed form along with the attached credentials page, and up to 3
supporting documents that may include letters of recommendation, news releases, etc. The
applications are due September 1, 2011. The selections will be made the following week.

selected recipients.
