This is a reminder Holy Name Catholic School/Holy Name High School will once again have a booth at this year’s U.P. State Fair–located outside the front of the Grandstand Building!

This Holy Name U.P. State Fair booth has been made possible this year — and the past two years — by the generous donation by the Daniel J. Kobasic Foundation–the Reserve Champion Sponsor of this year’s U.P. State Fair. The Daniel J. Kobasic Foundation has been a generous donor to the school for the past eight years.  Daniel J. Kobasic was a 1964 graduate of Holy Name High School, and a supporter (and fan!) of the U.P. State Fair.

Please see below for the SignUp Genius Volunteer Sign-up sheet for the U.P. State Fair Volunteer booth this August 17-23, 2026:  Currently, 17 of the 21 shifts are filled with 4 left to be filled (mostly evening shifts are still unstaffed) Jane has graciously signed up for the 4-8 shift each night but if anyone would like the 4-8 shift she can adjust.  Ideally, we would like 2 volunteers for some of the busier times, but we really need at least one person there at all times.

If you have already signed up for a shift, THANK YOU for volunteering your time to help our great school!  Vicki LaFave will be following up in August with time/s to pick up your Fair passes at the school. There may also be some ride bracelets for volunteers as well.

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B45ABA722A0FAC25-64294388-holy Please sign up for one shift (or more).

Everyone (up to 2 volunteers per shift–as noted in the SignUp Genius form) who signs up for a shift will receive a Fair pass (which covers GENERAL gate admission for all Grandstand shows that day) for the day that they volunteer.  Please wear HNCS/HNHS shirt/attire for your shift. If you do not have a shirt to wear, please ask HN Administrative Assistant Maddi Lynch, or Vicki LaFave, and you will be provided with one.

NOTE: Gold Circle Reserve Grandstand seats for Grandstand shows cost extra, and are not covered by the Fair Pass.
A reminder: Our booth will be located outside the front of the Grandstand; your Fair pass will get you through the gate.
We will offer a game (TBA), free HN ‘swag’, marketing materials, and possibly a recruiting video playing on a laptop.

FYI: Here is the schedule of U.P. State Fair Grandstand events that have been announced: Upper Peninsula State Fair Grandstand Events

Thank you for your support of Holy Name!
