The Higher Ground Fair could not happen without the wonderful individuals who come together each year to build, set-up and ensure the weekend runs smoothly. Your talents are a huge contribution towards making the fair a true celebration of rural living in the Rocky Mountains. Meet new people, gain new skills, find new passions and engage with your community. We're so glad you want to help out!

The location of the open house will be at the Feeding Laramie Valley building at 968 North 9th Street, Laramie, Wyoming.
