The 2025 Will County Fair has been dedicated to Mark Schneidewind. Mark had served as the Will County Farm Bureau manager for 34 years until his retirement in February, with his wife Anita and his son Michael by his side.

Every year you could find Mark setting up with many volunteers for the Farm Bureau tent and petting zoo. Mark helped our visitors learn about the importance of agriculture in our everyday lives.

The Will County Fair Board of Directors wishes Mark the best in his retirement, and we look forward to seeing him at the fair as a visitor for many years to come.
