COMMUNITY NOTICE
September 30, 2026
Applications are being accepted for four seats on the Garfield County Fair Board from Oct. 2 to Oct. 14, 2026. Garfield County residents over the age of 18 have the opportunity to help bring the Western Slope’s preeminent celebration of our agricultural heritage and Western lifestyle to fruition.
Volunteer board members serve three-year terms helping to plan, promote, and produce the annual Garfield County Fair & Rodeo. The fair board’s mission is to ensure high-quality programming for the fair that embraces all people, cultures, and entities in Garfield County, and to foster a spirit of community values while promoting our agricultural heritage and history.
Monthly fair board meetings alternate between Glenwood Springs and Rifle on the second Tuesday of each month starting at 6 p.m.
Applications must be submitted by 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14, online at garfieldcountyfair.com/board. Contact Garfield County Fairgrounds and Events Coordinator Kelsy Velazquez at 970-945-1377, ext. 4003, with questions or if you need assistance in applying.
