2025 Concessions/Vendor spots are SOLD OUT!
***ATTENTION ALL FAIR CONCESSIONS/VENDORS: ***
Beginning with the 2025 fair and moving forward there will be a lot rental rate increase.
We have proudly maintained the same rental rate for over 20 years. However, due to the increase in operational costs, particularly utility expenses, it has become necessary to modestly adjust our rental rates.
All previously signed contracts for 2025 at the end of the 2024 fair will be honored for 2025. This rate affects all vendors whether new or previously established.
We understand that stability and predictability in costs are important to your planning and success. We appreciate your continued partnership and understanding in this matter.
2025 rates are as follows. Food is $25 per foot on road frontage. Straight Sales are $20 per foot on road frontage.
Flat rate utility charge of $30.
(Example: $25 x 20’=$500+$30=$530)
- ALL BOTTLED DRINKS MUST BE PURCHASED THROUGH THE GRAHAM BOOSTERS/CHAMPAIGN COUNTY FAIR BOARD.
- SALE OF FOUNTAIN DRINKS IS PROHIBITED AND ENFORCED.
** The Pepsi contract remains in place for at least the 2025 and 2026 seasons**
NOTICE TO VENDORS: Matt Detwiler will be taking over concessions/vendor operations in 2025. Brian will be with him during the 2025 fair season as he learns to navigate the process. Brian will be moving to other operations within the fair.

RENT TO BE PAID UPON ARRIVAL. All profits you make during the week of fair, you keep. Prices are subject to change at anytime upon committee approval.
Any Lessee with a signed contract that is a no show without contacting the Fair Board member in charge of concessions will be billed for said rent under contractual obligation. (Ohio Revised Code 2305.06)
Any no payment for rent will result in the Lessee being billed, and not allowed to return to subsequent Fair’s. (Ohio Revised Code 2913.02)

Additionally, the Champaign Co. Health District inspects all food vendors before opening for business. They expect to be making their rounds Thursday, and the opening Friday of Fair. It would be to your benefit to be present.
PEPSI COOLER UPDATE: For all food vendors. Pepsi delivers to us a limited number of coolers, both single and double. It’s about the same from year to year so please plan accordingly. Apparently that’s all they have to currently offer. As many of you are well aware, the coolers don’t do well outside in the elements. Therefore, please have a back-up plan in the event there is no replacement available should it stop working.
GAMING VENDORS:
All gaming will be inspected by the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) prior to opening in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code and will be enforced throughout the week. All signage must be in Print Format, not hand written in accordance with Ohio Law.
