Sponsorship Opportunities for the Dutchess County Fair
The Dutchess County Fair is the largest six day fair in New York State. It draws annually between 400,000 and 500,000 guests from a one hundred mile plus radius of Rhinebeck. The fair according to industry "insiders" has long been considered the best six day fair in the country. For its popularity, agricultural integrity and beautiful 168-acre fairgrounds, it would, indeed, be hard to find a better county fair anywhere in the country.
Earlier this year, the Board of Directors of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, Inc. (a non profit 501c5 corporation) voted to accept sponsorships for the first time in the fair's history. This decision should be soundly greeted by area businesses. This gives the corporate world the opportunity to buy into the history and tradition of one of the oldest and most endearing institutions in Dutchess County, the Hudson Valley and much of New York State.
Where better to deliver a corporate message or sell a product than at a wonderful county fair? Guests come here for one reason. They wish to be entertained, have a good time, and return home better suited for the duties, responsibilities and demands of the next day! For a few hours each August, we play host to captive fair fans. For pennies per impression, you can deliver your message, educate the consumer, and sell your product line.
We can tailor a sponsorship to your particular corporate needs. Call or email us and tell us a little about how you want to reach our huge attendance base. We will put together a sponsorship package that we know can be mutually beneficial.
