VAF MEMBERSHIP

Membership in the Virginia Association of Fairs, Inc. is on a fiscal year basis, April 1 — March 31. Fair Membership dues are $150.00 (before July 1 and increase to $200.00 after July 1); Associate Membership dues are $125. Checks payable to the Virginia Association of Fairs, Inc. only for the fiscal year in which the dues are paid. Membership is a requirement for participation in any formal or informal conference activity or program, including but not limited to conference registration. The Virginia Association of Fairs, Inc. values its members’ participation and will endeavor to enhance benefit opportunities.

All members will receive a membership card for the Association covering the current fiscal year until March 31, 2025. To develop good relationships among fair members, as well as an opportunity to exchange ideas, the membership card provides gate admission for the bearer and up to three guests at member fairs. For associate members, this card allows the same admissions, providing exposure to events sponsored by our fairs.  Member fairs are encouraged, but are not required, to honor these guest cards as some have their own method of providing courtesy admissions.  This is the only card you will receive.  No duplicates will be provided.  We urge all fair members to use the services of our fellow associate members when planning your events.

The Virginia Association of Fairs is now making plans for the Association’s 108th Anniversary conference being held Thursday, January 2nd thru Saturday, January 5th, 2025.  The conference will be held again at The Williamsburg Lodge in Williamsburg, VA.  Please save this date on your calendar.  All conference schedules and information will be posted on our website.
