At that time any Director can ask questions or make suggestions to what the final draft will look like. It is presented to the Fair Manager by the Executive Committee and if both parties agree the review is signed by the Manager and the Board President. The same process is carried out for all key employees of the Van Wert County Agricultural Society.
