Tickets are $50 per person, call 688-5767 or visit www.NVstatefair.com. “The money raised helps keep admission costs down, assists with administrative costs, underwrites entertainment and grounds acts, and helps fund 4-H and FFA activities. It’s also a good night to think about becoming a volunteer or member of the Nevada State Fair. With the positive changes we are making, we are charting a new course to success - we need volunteers to help us get there,” said Sarah Chvilicek, President, Board of Directors. “The fair receives no state or government funding, and this is the only fundraiser that benefits the fair. The success of the fair is dependent upon community support,” said Dr. Greg “Lightning” Williams, sponsor chairman. Seating is limited for this event, so be sure to get your tickets early. Reserved tables for eight are available for $500 and include free parking, preferred seating, signage, cocktail vouchers, as well as 8- 2008 Nevada State Fair tickets.
