PUBLIC NOTICE

             Contrary to popular belief the Washington Parish Fairgrounds is PRIVATE property owned and operated by the Washington Parish Fair Association.   The Association is not subsidized by any local, parish, or state agency.  Therefore the upkeep and operation of the property are strictly the responsibility of the Fair Association.

Although we encourage and welcome public use of the grounds and facilities, we must require proper scheduling to avoid use conflicts.

 Therefore, anyone interested in using any part of the fairgrounds must request permission, be put on the calendar of events, and sign the necessary contract for use.

Because of expenses incurred with the use of the grounds, we must charge fees appropriate to cover our costs.  Therefore, if you want to have an event on the Washington Parish Fair Association property please contact a member of the Fair Association to make the necessary arrangements.

We greatly appreciate the assistance of the Town of Franklinton, Washington Parish Government,  Washington St. Tammany Electric, and Rayburn Correctional Institute in the many projects we undertake to keep the fairgrounds a beautiful and safe place for our local residents and visitors to enjoy.
