DELTA, OH – North Star BlueScope Steel (NSBSL) is the Grand Champion Sponsor of the 2023 Fulton County Fair, one of the largest county fairs in Ohio.
The event draws over 100,000 people every year. That’s more than double the county’s population. Key attractions include country and classic rock concerts, harness racing, horse shows, derbies, motorcycle racing and auctions for baked goods and livestock.
The 2023 Fulton County Fair will run September 1st through the 7th. North Star President Conrad Winkler said, “We’re excited to sponsor the Fulton County Fair this year. Being involved in our community is very important to the North Star team. It’s one of the pillars of our company.”
“We’re very passionate about supporting and strengthening our communities to build a brighter future.”
“We’re so pleased to have North Star’s continued support of the fair,” said Ron Rice, President of the Board of Directors for the Fulton County Fair.
“We wouldn’t be able to host this event and bring the community together without the help of every one of our sponsors. We’re so grateful.”
North Star is sponsoring four events: Junior Fair Day, the Labor Day Country Concert, the Habitat for Humanity of Fulton County Playhouse Build and Triangular Processing Day.
At the Junior Fair, local youth and young adults can participate in a variety of competitions, from woodworking to showing dresses and dairy cows. Junior Fair Day takes place on Tuesday, September 5th.
On that day, all school-aged children can enter the fair for free until 6pm. The Labor Day Country Concert stars Josh Turner and special guest Emily Ann Roberts. Some of Turner’s most popular hits include “Long Black Train,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “Your Man” and “Hometown Girl.” The concert is on Monday, September 4th at 7pm.
On September 2nd and 5th, Habitat for Humanity of Fulton County will be at the fair to build playhouses with help from North Star and other businesses. Those playhouses will be gifted to local families in need.
NSBSL hopes to raise awareness of Habitat for Humanity and encourages attendees to support the organization however they can.
Triangular Processing (TPI) is a non-profit recycling company that provides jobs and recreation to local citizens with disabilities. Triangular Processing Day is on September 2nd.

On that day, TPI members can enjoy the rides and walk through the exhibits and animal barns. They can also volunteer to help with the playhouse project.
“If anyone would like to learn more about North Star, they’re welcome to stop by our booth,” said Winkler.
“We’ll have our team onsite, and we’ll be giving away fun swag gear.” You can buy fair and event tickets at FultonCountyFair.com.
