How It Works

• Bring one 28-ounce-or-larger jar of peanut butter AND one 28-ounce-or-larger jar of jelly.
• 1 peanut butter + 1 jelly = 1 complimentary State Fair ticket.
• Limit 2 tickets per family.
• Tickets are first come, first served, while supplies last.
• Donations beyond the two-ticket family limit are still greatly appreciated and will be donated to local food pantries.
• Tickets are handed out at the time of donation, while supplies last.

Each qualifying ticket requires one peanut butter and one jelly, with each container being 28 oz. or larger. This minimum helps us collect meaningful donations to stock local food pantries and support families in our community.
