Junior Fair Coliseum campaign

CANFIELD — The Canfield Fair Foundation announced nine leadership gifts and one anonymous gift all totaling $950,000, bringing the total raised in the Capital Campaign to just over $2,000,000.

The latest gifts include an anonymous $200,000 challenge gift where the donor will match dollar for dollar up to $200,000 in support of the new Junior Fair Coliseum and year-round event center.

The Capital Campaign is led by its four honorary co-chairs George Berlin, Joe Dickey, Don Snyder and David Myers.

“We are thrilled with the community’s response thus far to the Capital Campaign,” said Andy Frost, Canfield Fair Board president. “We have never asked the community for money and this new world-class building was more than we could do by ourselves. This project is a true partnership, all centered on 4H and FFA kids and a building that will be used year round.”

Dave Dickey, chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee and Canfield Fair Foundation Chairman said, “in addition to housing the kids and their animals during the Fair, the building has generated so much interest we have people wanting to sign contracts for future dates.”

In February the fair launched the $4.5 million Capital Campaign in support of building of a new 81,000-square foot Junior Fair Coliseum and year-round Exposition Center. The multipurpose facility will be heated and air-conditioned for year-round use and include a full catering kitchen. The project is in response to the explosive growth of the number of youth joining 4H and Future Farmers of America programs. For more information contact canfieldfair.com or 330-533-4107.
