With the winter storm we just had (hopefully the last one for months to come!), it makes one think of comfort food, savory things like roast turkey, stuffing and trimmings, delicious desserts..... and indeed, the Cochranton Community Fair Association is preparing to deliver!
Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 3:00pm-6:00pm at Our Lady of Lourdes Social Hall in Cochranton, you will find our annual fundraiser: This year we're having a turkey dinner! Our popular basket raffle will be on site as well! Dine-in or carry-out! $14.00 for adults and $8.00 for kids 12 and under. Feel free to share our flyer and bring your friends and family to Cochranton Saturday, April 6th! Spring is just around the corner!
Our Fair Board is diligently working on new ideas and making plans for the 2024 fair and our Junior Fair Board is ready to seek new members! Applications for the Junior Fair Board are available on the Junior Board's page on this website. Teens meeting the qualifications are encouraged to apply! We love working with our young people!

Hoping you all have recovered from the exciting week that was the 2023 Cochranton Community Fair! How can it be over 2 months ago? Coming up tomorrow night, Thursday, October 26th, the Fair Parade Committee hosts its annual "a creepy kooky cochranton" Halloween display at the fairgrounds from 6pm - 8pm. Trick-or-Treat in the Borough of Cochranton runs 6pm - 7:30pm. The parade characters will have treats and hot cocoa for our little pedestrians and their adult chaperones. Pedestrian traffic only! Here's hoping we even have some fair volunteers joining in with their own Truck-or-Treat at the fairgrounds. Coming up in November, our Junior Fair Board will be engaging the community with its annual Gingerbread House Competition, being held this year at the United Methodist Church on Adams Street. Details may be found on the Junior Fair Board page about this fun event as part of Christmas in Cochranton, the weekend prior to Thanksgiving. Also during Christmas in Cochranton, Christmas Tree Lane will find its faithful home at the Cochranton Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall on Adams Street. Complete details can be found on the parade committee's website: www.cochrantonevents.com . Our fair board, volunteers, committees, and junior board never really slow down. Meetings resume shortly after the fair closes in August and continue throughout the year. Various fun events are on tap, from gingerbread to pumpkins, ghouls to Christmas trees, fund-raising dinners, and so much more! If you would like to get involved, please contact us!!
