It gives all who enter exhibits an opportunity to compare efforts with those of others in the county, the intent being that success in exhibiting will stimulate exhibitors to greater efforts, while providing an opportunity to learn from others who have higher ranked exhibits. It is the purpose of the Fair Association to make the Free Fair educational and to encourage cooperation among all persons in the various communities of the county. The management of the Oklahoma County Free Fair is in the hands of the Oklahoma County Free Fair Board which is composed of three elected members from each Commissioner District. The active management of the fair is in the hands of an Executive Board consisting of a president, vice-president, secretary and six board members. The Oklahoma County Free Fair is financed by taxation. No admission charge will be made and no entry fee will be charged.
