In 2004, the South Florida Fair Board of Trustees initiated a means of honoring individuals who have greatly contributed* to the South Florida Fair & Palm Beach County Expositions, Inc. They did so by creating a Hall of Fame area in the breezeway between the two Expo buildings and by inducting new recipients at Fairtime.
In 2008, the Board decided to begin a program recognizing outstanding volunteers. These individuals are listed on a Honored Volunteers Plaque located in the Hall of Fame area as well.
When visiting the Expo Hall please be sure to stop and visit the South Florida Fair Hall of Fame.
