| I attended an event at the Fair Park last year, but don't see it on your calendar of events,
why?
There could be a variety of reasons why an event that was held at the Fair Park in the
past does not appear on our current calendar of events. The event may have been a
one-time occurrence, the event may have moved to a new location, the promoter may
have cancelled the event, etc. |

| Does Wisconsin State Fair donate to charitable organizations and/or events?
The Wisconsin State Fair does have a limited allocation of admission tickets each year
for charitable contributions and requests are filled on a first-come, first served basis. As
an agency of the State of Wisconsin we are unable to donate to religious organizations.
In an effort to fulfill as many requests as possible, only one event per organization or
charity will receive a contribution from Wisconsin State Fair each calendar year. All
requests must be submitted in writing on the organization or charity's letterhead and
include the deadline for fulfillment. Requests should be sent to Wisconsin State Fair
Park, ATTN: Charitable Requests, 640 South 84th Street, West Allis, WI 53214. |
