We are excited to host a HOMEMADE CHICKEN & NOODLE DINNER along with the opportunity to get in early CHRISTMAS PHOTOS!

This will be at the fair building on Sunday, November 23rd from Noon to 3pm while supplies last!

We are hoping to help save you some time on your Sunday lunch and Thanksgiving meals so you can enjoy friends and family. The dinner can be enjoyed at the fair building or you may take it to go. Come check out what pies, bread rolls, and other food items are available for purchase!

Pictures will have a Christmas theme photo backdrop. We will snap 3 photos for $5 and you'll have your pictures emailed to you within 1 week. NO copyrights or watermarks so you can take and print them anywhere. You can do individual or group photos- the choice is yours.

We will also have tickets for the .22 LR Golden Boy H004 Limited Edition Engraved Chautauqua County KS, Henry Lever Action Rifle. Ticket Price is $5 each or 5 tickets for $20.

All proceeds will be used for much needed building repairs and improvements.

Watch our page for updates as we will be posting pictures closer to the event!
