The deadline to Submit Elder Applications for the 2024 Fair is February 1, 2024. Applications received after that date will be considered for the 2025 Fair. Currently, a member with at least 20 years of verifiable volunteer service to the Fair and at least 55 years of age before the first day of the 2024 Fair is eligible to apply. Keep in mind that the minimum age to apply goes up next year to 56, so anyone who will be 55 by the beginning of the 2024 Fair will subsequently be eligible to apply for the 2025 Fair.
