Each year, talented and driven members of San Juan County take on the roles of Department Superintendents. There are 27 different "Open Class" departments of the Fair ranging from Junior Arts and Crafts to Chickens. Each Superintendent organizes volunteers to supervise each division during the Fair and Entry Day; answering questions and assisting exhibitors. Superintendents also secure the judges for their department, scout out specialty prize sponsorship, update their department's entry guidelines in the exhibitor guide, and tally the winners for premium prize distribution by the Fair staff. They work non-stop for entire week surrounding the Fair--we truly couldn't do it without them!
