The Middlesex County 4-H Fair, Inc. is a non-profit organization (501c) run entirely by volunteers. A 14-member volunteer Board of Directors oversees the operation of the Fair and management of the fairgrounds in Westford. There are a small number of individuals who are hired and paid for certain jobs during the Fair; these include some outside vendors and entertainers.
 
The Fair is an agricultural, non-commercial, youth fair, and all of our exhibitors are members of 4-H Clubs in Middlesex County.
