The Chester Agricultural and Mechanical Society
The Chester Agricultural and Mechanical Society is
comprised of approximately 35 Officers,
Directors, and Superintendents. These individuals provide 100% of the
management and operation of the Chester Fair, and the maintenance and
improvements of their 17-acre fairgrounds.
None of our Officers, Directors, and Superintendents receives any compensation for their time and labor.
The Society meets every third Monday of the month except for December. Work crews are on the grounds most Saturday morning’s throughout the year.
