The Howard County Fairgrounds Foundation was established to work hand in hand with the Howard County Agricultural Society to seek out financing for improvements to the infrastructure at the Howard County Fairgrounds. The purpose of the annual fair is to provide support, maintenance, improvement, development, and expansion of the charitable, educational, and scientific purposes within the area served by the Howard County Agricultural Society. The Howard County Agricultural Society provides an avenue for agricultural education programs for both youth and adults, and the Howard County Fairgrounds Foundation is actively working to raise funds to improve the facilities to provide an even better agricultural educational experience.
