The State Fair of West Virginia, with an $8.9 million dollar economic impact on Greenbrier County, is a 501 © 3 non-profit corporation committed to the traditions of agriculture, family, entertainment, and education.

Sponsorship Opportunities -

Our marketing and advertising strategies are based on a core belief that success depends on partnerships with strong media and retail co-promotions. While cash sponsorships are important, we're just as concerned about the promotional value offered by a sponsor program, the opportunity to leverage the Fair's advertising budget, and the value of the sponsor program to the fairgoer.

The annual State Fair attracts 200,000 visitors and is the largest multi-day celebration in West Virginia. We have achieved the American Bus Association's Top 100 event list and have been designated a Top 20 event in the Southeast.

Sponsorship opportunities are created for all budgets and to fit all marketing goals. Additionally, with the tremendous growth in year around event rentals, new seasonal sponsorships can incorporate messaging on the fair's new electronic message sign which provides extremely high visibility on Rt. 219 south.

The State Fair works with each sponsor individually to determine the best opportunity and value for their investment. For more information on sponsorship opportunites please view the Sponsorship Brochure or call, Marlene Pierson-Jolliffe at 304.645.1090.
