WELCOME!

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Laredo International Fair and Exposition – a tradition that, thanks to you, continues to bring together thousands to our city each year for a week of fun! This year we are celebrating our 56th year— and what a ride it has been! Over the decades, countless community volunteers and local businesses have worked together to bring you closer to our county’s agricultural heritage, all while offering our famous schedule of rides, food, craft vendors, entertainers, bands, and home arts competitions. For many area residents, this is the kind of unique event where young adults, parents, and grandparents have been coming together every year.

As you walk the grounds this year, be sure to look for our volunteers and let them know what you think. We want to hear from you! On behalf of the board of trustees and the volunteers of this great organization, I hope you enjoy your visit!

Respectfully yours,

Joe Villarreal Jr., 2018-2019 L.I.F.E. President
