Honor a loved one, promote your business, and help our nonprofit fairgrounds grow for generations to come.

Every year, our nonprofit fairgrounds come alive with the energy of our community. It’s a place where tradition thrives, and memories are made. As a nonprofit, keeping these grounds beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming is a team effort—and that’s why we are so excited to announce the continuation of our Fairgrounds Donation & Legacy Program!


Thanks to your incredible generosity in previous years, we’ve already added vital seating, shade, and commemorative walkways across the property. But we aren't done yet. We are opening up orders for this season, giving you another chance to leave a lasting legacy or honor someone special.


Choose Your Way to Give

Whether you want to sponsor a comfortable place to rest, add to our green canopy, or etch your name into fairgrounds history, we have the perfect option for you:


🌳 Shade Trees & 🧺 Picnic Tables

Our ongoing efforts to add comfort and natural beauty to the grounds rely heavily on these sponsorships. For a $350 donation, you can sponsor a Shade Tree to help us plant the next generation of trees and provide a cool, welcoming canopy for future fairgoers. Alternatively, a $350 donation can sponsor a Picnic Table, providing a dedicated spot for families to rest, enjoy food, and gather between events. To order, simply use our standard donation form and send in your payment of $350.


🧱 Commemorative Paver Bricks

Our legacy walkway is continuing to grow, and you can purchase a personalized brick to be permanently installed on the fairgrounds. We offer three different sizes to fit your message and budget:

  • 4" x 8" Brick (S100) for $100: This standard size allows for 3 lines of text with up to 13 characters per line. It is perfect for individuals, children, or memorial names.
  • 8" x 8" Brick (S200) for $200: This square size allows for 6 lines of text with up to 13 characters per line. It is ideal for families, local clubs, and small businesses.
  • 16" x 16" Brick for $500: Our largest option allows for 12 lines of text with up to 13 characters per line. This size is excellent for businesses, major sponsors, or highly detailed family tributes.
Note: When planning your message, please remember that spaces and punctuation count toward the 13-character line limit!

Why Your Continued Support Matters

Because we operate as a nonprofit, every single dollar raised through this program goes directly back into the maintenance and preservation of the fairgrounds. Your past support has kept our gates open for youth programs, community markets, and family entertainment—and your continued support ensures we can keep improving year after year.


How to Join the Legacy This Year

If you missed out in previous years, or want to add another piece to our growing community display, getting involved is easy:

  1. Choose your donation: Select a tree, a table, or your preferred brick size.
  2. Fill out the form: Grab a donation form from our office or download it directly from our website.
  3. Submit your payment: Double-check the spelling of your custom text (for bricks) and send it in to secure your spot to the Dodge County Fair Association, P.O. Box 654, Beaver Dam, WI 53916.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this program in the past, and thank you for helping us continue to grow for the future!
