Working at the Fair provides flexibility during the summer months while giving employees the opportunity to earn wages and enjoy an Ohio tradition. Hired employees must be able to work the 12 days of the Fair. Additionally, they can use their employee badge to receive entry to the Fair as much as they would like, July 25 through August 5, 2018.
There are a variety of seasonal positions available for hire such as ticket sellers, shuttle drivers, traffic control, Guest Information Services booth attendants and more.
Interested candidates may pick up an application for Fair positions now, Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (except normal holidays), at the rear southwest door of the Administration Building in the Human Resources office.
