Decatur County Fair - Oberlin KS

04/23/2026

We can't imagine the Decatur County Fair without the delicious pork burgers and brats!!
Please plan to attend the meeting Tonight (4/23) at 7:30 pm @ The Reload. Come, ask questions, and let’s get volunteers!
Or reach out to:
Nolan Wasson,
President
Tyler Bruggeman,
Vice President

🚨With sad news🚨the Oberlin Jaycees will no longer be able to continue after 12/31/2026 due to the inability to obtain additional volunteers. Truthfully, the board has just run dry and we no longer have the ability to run the fair booth efficiently without extra members stepping up.

With that being said there’s a very small chance that if we do happen to get enough volunteers to help, we might be able to continue it. But as of now, 12/31/2026 is our last day of having the fair booth.

What is the Jaycees, you may ask? The Oberlin Jaycees does not have any meaning currently, so anybody can join and anybody can help! You don’t have to be a man or woman and there is no age restriction. Just simply volunteer two nights of the fair and attend two other meetings throughout the year.

What do we do? Here’s a few examples:
🌟We organize and run the fair booth 5 nights.
🌟We help grill at different fundraisers throughout the year.
🌟We give 2 Scholarships away to DCHS students.
🌟We help high school classes earn AMAZING money.
🌟We help fund the Jaycee Angel Tree when needed.

🆘How can you help? 🆘
We will be having a meeting on Thursday April 23rd at 7:30 at The Reload and we highly encourage anyone and everyone to attend if you have any interest.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Nolan Wasson,
President
