Come to the Fair!
The Devon Country Fair is all about traditions! As the philanthropic arm of the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair, this committee has over 120 Chairmen and 2,000 volunteers who come together each year to plan and staff food and merchandise booths alike. It’s quite an undertaking!
Much like the Devon Horse Show, the Country Fair has created its own traditions through the years. Generations of families fondly recall memories of selling (and eating) lemon sticks and the famous Devon fudge. Whether it’s collecting souvenir pins, scooping ice cream, selling Derby chances, or viewing the Devon skyline from the ferris wheel, the Devon Country Fair has permanently woven itself into the fabric of many on the Main Line. Attending the fair holds a special spot in people’s hearts but volunteering at the fair has proven to be a generational identity for many.
We are always looking for new volunteers! If you want to make Devon your tradition, e-mail us at volunteer@devonhorseshow.com to find out more.

Souvenirs
The Devon Souvenir booth is nothing less than amazing, in fact, it takes several times there to see everything that is offered. As with all booths, Souvenirs is run by volunteers who scour gift shows and apparel retailers all year looking for the newest trends and time honored classics. Traditional baseball caps, sweatshirts and other logoed apparel fly off the shelves. The booth also has expanded into a large selection of home and giftware. Our online Souvenirs Shop is open for business!
The younger set will love the Devon Kids/Future Champions store with everything from plush to gear for the young horse enthusiast.
