On Wednesday evening, before the entire Delaware State Fair Board, six names were read as having obtained the honor and status of Junior Fair Board members. These six youth accepted the duty to support the Delaware State Fair for two years by meeting and making recommendations to be submitted to the Senior Fair Board. This year’s six new members are: Christine Evans, Newark; Rebecca Myers, Wyoming; Whitney Betts, Felton; Amanda Urian, Clayton; Amber Miller, Bridgeville; and Samantha Steele, Milford.

The purpose of the Junior Fair Board is to develop leadership and interpersonal skills of youth and to expand the Delaware State Fair’s volunteer base while increasing visibility and impact of the Fair. The Junior Board consists of 12 members—four from each Delaware county. If the Delaware State Fair is unable to recruit four from each county, it may solicit additional members from another county. All Junior Board members must be between the ages of 15 and 21 at the time of their appointment and should represent all facets of interest in the Fair, including: 4-H, FFA, entertainment, exhibits, office work, marketing, publicity, etc. Members are required to contribute a minimum of 10 hours of volunteer service during pre-Fair week and 20 hours of volunteer service during the Fair.
