Hardin County Fair Board Election: Wednesday, November 4

The Hardin County Agricultural Society will be holding their Annual Election for Board of Directors on Wednesday, Nov. 4th, 2026, from 2-6pm at the Hardin County Fair Office. To vote for a director, you need to have purchased a 2026 Fair Membership Ticket (the extra $2.00 ticket). There are 8 positions open for re-election this year. Members can vote for 2 directors at large positions (3 year term). Those running are Charlie McCullough and Grant Mizek. Township Positions open for election this year are: Blanchard Township (Rob Wilson running), Cessna Township (Jack McBride running), Marion Township (Craig Decker running), and McDonald Township (Dan Beale running). If you are a member of one of those townships, you will be allowed to vote for those director positions.

There are no candidates running for vacant positions in Taylor Creek or Lynn Townships. If someone is still interested in being a director and doesn’t want to run for an elected period, you can submit a letter of interest to the Hardin County Ag. Society by November 4th. The current board can appoint any person for a 1-year term, to any township, even if you don’t live in that township. Those positions will be filled at the regular November board meeting on November, 4th, 2026, after the Annual Meeting.

Following the election at 6:30pm, the Fair board will hold their annual meeting and re-organizational meeting in the Community Building. All members are invited to attend the annual meeting.
