  • I would like you to email me 2018 fair schedule when it becomes published.

    Thank You,

  • One of the telephone numbers that is listed with the Saline Co Fair is not a fair number any longer. Would it be possible to remove 618-252-1185? We have not been with the fair for 3 years and we are getting up to 15 calls a day. Thank you in advance. Dennis Wilson

    • Hi Dennis,

      Our website for Partners magazine only features listing of the fair dates and doesn’t have the phone numbers. I think you would have to contact the Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs directly at 815-635-1500. I hope this helps!

      Best,

        • The number was on eventcrazy.com. But your web site was on their too. I contacted them and it has already been removed. Thank you for getting back and sorry for the mix up.
