Another Fair has ended, and the Fair Board is already talking about our 2012 Fair!  If you didn’t know, our Board works year-round to make each Fair a success.  2011 proved to be a challenging Fair for all.  The weather was very hard on everyone - animal and human!  I want to commend all of our 4Hers and their parents for the care shown for the animals.  Each animal had lots of people keeping a close eye on them and helping out when needed.  This makes a great and successful Fair!

Another factor I want to touch on is our Sponsors.  The County and public really stepped up to help out in all aspects of the Fair.  We have great partnerships with our Sponsors, and that shows with the contributions we received from businesses and individuals.   We can’t say thank you enough to our Sponsor of the Day, sponsors of a barn and even the sponsors of our special events.  Again, a big thank you to all of our sponsors!

To end this quick note from myself, I would like to thank everyone who gave a little extra time, extra muscle, and extra effort to help keep our Fair one of the best in Indiana.  We all worked together and overcame every obstacle put before us.  For that I personally am grateful.   One thing I ask from everyone…If you were lucky enough to win in a project, please send a thank you to your plaque sponsors.  If you know someone or a business that helped sponsor an event or building, just mention that you knew they had helped and thank them.

Good luck to those going to State Fair and I hope everyone has a great school year!
