Are you as excited as we are about the Delaware State Fair? From Opening Day on July 24 through Closing Day on July 30, members of Senator Coons’ staff will be at our very own booth on the first floor of the Wilmington Trust Grandstand. They’ll be on hand to meet with fair-goers and offer information about the services our office provides to constituents.
The Delaware State Fair is an annual tradition dating to 1920, when adults paid fifty cents each in admission (children could attend for twenty-five cents) for exhibits in seven categories. Today, the fair attracts over 300,000 visitors from across the region, and attendance has become a tradition for many Delaware families. The fair features a carnival with over fifty rides as well as concerts by major entertainers, with this year’s performers to include Miranda Cosgrove, Toby Keith, Ke$ha, and many others. Of course, the Delaware State Fair remains committed to its roots as an agricultural festival, and there will be plenty of livestock shows and farming contests to experience and enjoy.
At Chris’ booth, our staff will be ready to assist Delawareans with federal government casework, including help with questions relating to:
- Social Security
- Medicare
- Medicaid
- Immigration and Naturalization
- Passports
- Service Academy Nominations
- Taxes
- Veterans’ Affairs
- Military Service
- Small Business Administration
- All other federal departments and agencies
If you need help navigating the federal bureaucracy, if you wish to learn more about services you may be eligible to receive from federal agencies, or if you just want to stop by and say hello, visit our booth anytime between 11:00am to 9:00pm on any day of the fair. We look forward to seeing you in Harrington.
