Warren County Fair Prepares for 95th Year

Pittsfield, PA - The Warren County Fair is preparing to celebrate a milestone year as organizers put the finishing touches on the fairgrounds ahead of next week's opening.

The 95th Warren County Fair will welcome thousands of visitors to the Warren County Fairgrounds, continuing a tradition that has been a staple of the community for nearly a century. This year's fair will not only celebrate the fair's own history but will also recognize Pennsylvania 250 and America 250, commemorating the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary.

Lisa Card, executive director of the Warren County Visitors Bureau, said the fair remains one of the county's signature events because it offers something for everyone while showcasing the area's heritage.

"The Warren County Fair has it all," Card said. "It has history, it has culture, it has great food, entertainment and education, and we are proud supporters of the event every year. I grew up here in Warren County and have actually never missed fair week, it really is a wonderful event."

While longtime traditions such as livestock shows, agricultural exhibits, food vendors and entertainment remain at the heart of the fair, visitors will notice several improvements across the grounds this year.

Fair Director Kent Sanden said crews have spent much of the summer making upgrades designed to enhance the experience for exhibitors and fairgoers alike.

"We are very excited about our 95th year here at the Warren County Fair, and improvements are everywhere," Sanden said. "Right behind me is a freshly painted building. We have a new wash rack and show arena out near the barn area. Just improvements all over the place. It's been a very busy summer for us."

“We have been working very hard and have a large team of dedicated volunteers who make this possible every year,” said Dale Bliss, President of the Warren County Fair Board. “Every year we work to add something new or improve upon something. This year we have been busier than normal and are very excited for everyone to see the hard work that has been done.”

Among the improvements are two updated livestock arenas, a new animal wash area, upgraded viewing stands and freshly painted commercial buildings.

Organizers say the investments are intended to improve the fair experience while preserving the traditions that have made the Warren County Fair one of the county's longest-running annual events.

The fair is expected to draw thousands of visitors from across the region throughout the week, offering agricultural competitions, entertainment, exhibits, food and family activities while celebrating both its 95-year legacy and the nation's upcoming semiquincentennial.
