About The Great Allentown Fair Foundation

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” 
-Margaret Mead

• Educating urban youth and the community at large in the sciences of agriculture, horticulture, farm-to-table programs and products;
• Preservation of the Allentown Fairgrounds’ historical value, heritage and evolution.
