Always Labor Day Weekend
Volunteer
We are always looking for volunteers to make the Goshen Fair a success.
Volunteers are especially needed this year in the following departments: Arts and Crafts, and Farm Products and Canning. If you are interested in another Department additional help is always needed. Please consider signing up for a two or four hour shift, or if you want to be more involved join a Committee. To volunteer you do not have to be a member of the Goshen Agricultural Society or a resident of Goshen. Everyone is welcome!
