The Washington County Fair Park Donor Plaza
During the planning stages of the new Washington County Fair Park, many people asked that the County provide a way for citizens, organizations, clubs, and businesses to personalize their contributions and show their support. A commemorative dedication plaza was suggested and planners went to work to provide such an area. The Washington County 4-H Leaders Association now brings this opportunity to you!
The Washington County Fair Park Donor Recognition Plaza is located just outside the Fair Park Pavilion and the main Fair Park entrance. This attractive plaza offers donors a variety of commemorative elements that provide space for memorials, special messages, family names, and business logos.
Donors can put their family name, business name, or club name on a variety of items from a simple brick or plaque to a tree or park bench.
The Fair Park offers year round educational, entertainment, and economic benefit to Washington County and southeastern Wisconsin. Hundreds of thousands of people use the Fair Park each year
Personalized memorial bricks make great gifts for the person who has everything, or for children and grandchildren. An investment of as little as $25 for your name on a plaque, or $50 for a 4″ x 8″ personalized brick will give you, your family, or club a lifetime of satisfaction knowing you helped build the Washington County Fair Park. Gift Certificates are available at the Fair Park office. Bricks will be installed once a year.
The Donor Plaza serves as a permanent tribute to all those who support the Fair Park.

Sponsorship
As IEG, the worldwide authority on sponsorship states, “Costs for traditional advertising continues to increase, while ratings and readership decline…Sponsorship, on the other hand, provides opportunities for embedded advertising, a fail-safe delivery system where messages are incorporated right into the action. …buyers are demanding to know where a company stands before they purchase its products. Making the work a more livable place is a prerequisite to achieving consumer affinity.”
Washington County Agricultural & Industrial Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is “to enrich life with educational, cultural, economic, and social opportunities.” There are numerous opportunities throughout the year for companies and individuals to sponsor events and activities such as the Washington County Fair.
