FAIREST OF THE FAIR SCHOLARSHIP
In 2011, the Ozaukee County Fair Board established a Scholarship Fund for the Fairest of the Fair. Every year since, we have presented scholarships to the top three candidates in the competition.
We are continuing our efforts to encourage young people in Ozaukee County to participate in the program. Please consider donating to the Scholarship Fund or the program. We will recognize your contribution at the Fairest of the Fair Gala (January 11, 2025) and on this website. Please click on the links below for more information.
