The Chowan County Regional Fair
is good, clean, wholesome family fun. Located at the
American Legion Post 40 on West Queen Street in Edenton, NC,
the Fair offers rides for big and small, a variety of
delicious foods, exhibits of local talent, and professional
entertainment. The emphasis of the fair is on education of
young and old through exhibits and displays. Free parking is
available with tram rides to and from the parking lot and
the Fair gates provided by the Edenton and Rocky Hock Lions
Clubs. So, pack up the family and come on down and enjoy a
memorable evening.
The Chowan County Regional Fair was first held in
1947 as The American Legion Fair (See History
link for a detailed history). Since that time it
has grown into one of the most respected fairs in
the State, winning many awards, culminating with the
prestigious Image Award for best medium sized fair
in North Carolina in 2007.
The Fair is sponsored by The Edward G. Bond American
Legion Post 40 and is run by The Chowan County
Regional Fair Association. The Association is made
up of an Executive Committee, a Board of Directors,
Ex-Officio Board Members, and a Junior Fair Board.
Directors serve a three year term and can be
re-elected when their term expires. Ex- Officio
Members include student advisors, extension service
agents, a senior citizen representative, and legal
counsel.
The job of actually running the Fair is divided into
committees, most of which are chaired by Board
Members and made up of the 100’s of volunteers that
help each year. There is only one paid position on
the fair staff and that is our Housekeeper. Everyone
else, including the Fair Manager is a volunteer.
Chowan County Regional Fair is one of the few
all-volunteer fairs left in North Carolina.
The Chowan County Regional Fair is licensed by the
North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer
Services as an Agricultural Fair. The Fair is a
member of The North
Carolina Association of Agricultural Fairs and
The
International Association of Fairs and Exhibitions.
Board Members regularly attend conventions and zone
meetings to learn and share knowledge from other
fairs and industry experts that will improve the
Fair. Board members have also been very active in
the North Carolina Association of Agricultural
Fairs. Four of our officers have served on the Board
of Directors of The NCAOAF and three have served as
President. Several have served and two are still
serving on various Committees of the NCAOAF.
The Chowan County Regional Fair Association is
dedicated to providing the people of the Albemarle
Region the best possible fair experience and
entertainment value.
