The Matagorda County Fair & Livestock Exposition Association is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that was organized in 1944.
The Fair Association has produced a Local County Fair and Livestock Show continually since that 1944 and as a result, the association has aided in the development and education of several thousand county youth.
In 1996 the Fair Association began its Scholarship Program. That year the Fair awarded $12,000.00 to six local graduating seniors.
