Our Story
Founded in 1998 by CoolKay, Countyfairgrounds.net was born from a simple love for fairs and festivals.
At 76 years young, I'm still passionate about helping fairs, events, entertainers, vendors, and carnivals connect with communities across America.
This website receives significant traffic and helps countless people discover local events. That has always been my mission - to be a helpful resource for fair-goers and fair-organizers alike.
A Note from CoolKay
The website generates minimal income - just a little from Google AdSense, which has become increasingly difficult to use over the years. Mostly, my social security supports this site.
As technology becomes more challenging and I grow older, I'm seeking help to keep this valuable resource running:
- 1. Tech Help: Finding reliable technical assistance has been challenging.
- 2. Sponsors: I'm looking for sponsors to support the site.
- 3. Succession: Seeking someone interested in keeping this site running when I can no longer do so.
Like the site? It takes constant work, time, and resources. Your donation helps us continue serving the fair community!
I offer podcasting services to help you gain attention. There are many podcast interviews listed on this site.
Free Ad Space Available!
This year, I'm offering free ad space on certain pages to entertainers and vendors - first come, first served.
Send me your ad, link, and preferred placement through the contact form on the Site Stuff page.
Stained Glass Eagle - Seeking a Home
I'm looking for a home for this beautiful stained glass piece I created years ago. It was displayed in a mountain restaurant and is very well reinforced around the perimeter.
I would be willing to give it to an appropriate institution that would display it properly (shipping costs would need to be covered). I'm also open to selling it to someone with a genuine interest.
I made this piece with a lot of love and care. If you have a genuine interest, please message me through our Site Stuff page.
