The 34th Annual Meeting and Trade Show will be held on

January 31, 2026, at Fireside Inn; West Lebanon, NH

We hope you had a chance to enjoy the hazy, hot, humid days of summer that we have had.  We know you all have planned and executed some amazing changes/improvements to your Fairs in the 2025 Fair Season.  We have enjoyed seeing these changes firsthand by attending your events. Along with getting ready for our own fairs, the VT/NH Fair Board has been working to line up the speakers for the 1/31/2026 meeting and trade show.  Plans are underway for the day's activities. 

Good news, again in 2026, we will be holding the prices on room reservations, vendor spaces and the registration for the event. We do this to help the fairs send as many of their staff as possible. 

As you celebrate the success of each of your fairs, please take a look at the positive economic impact your fair had on your community and your state as a whole. IAFE will be looking to gather this information to help them be a voice for fairs throughout our country as they bring this information to our federal and state legislatures. IAFE advocates for US to show the strength that we bring to local economies.  

We look forward to seeing you at our next event.
