Fun at the Fair
Hundreds of visitors at the KCFB display at the Kane County Fair helped raise over $1,300 to benefit the KCFB Foundation. Proceeds from our Annual Bucket Raffle Fundraiser & Country Store will be used for college scholarships for area students studying agriculture and ag literacy programs in Kane County.

Thanks to everyone who stopped to talk, learn a little and support agricultural education. Click here for the names of our Bucket Raffle Winners and a list of our 2010 donors.

KCFB's Country Store at the Kane Cty. Fair attracted many young visitors. Stop by the KCFB office today & check out our permanent display of farm toys for sale.
