I would like to personally thank the many people who work tirelessly, behind the scenes, to make the County Fair the huge success it is.

For years, people like Lynette Cabrera (The Zucchini Queen), the Soroptimist ticket takers, the service organizations who prepare those scrumptious dinners, and countless others have given up a week of their lives to make the fair the Crown Jewel event of the year.

Say “Thank You” to them when you visit August 12-15. Oh and use the $5 parking across the street. That money goes to kids sports programs.
