✨ Fairboard Member Spotlight

Some fair stories span generations—and decades. 💛

This week's spotlight features a board member whose fair journey began as a tag-along with his parents in the 1980s and grew into a lifetime of involvement. Over the years, he's worn many hats, from Fairboard President to event coordinator, helping with everything from grandstand events and campers to the kid train and, of course, the Beer Garden. 🍻

What keeps him coming back year after year is simple: the people. He loves seeing familiar faces, welcoming new ones, and watching families make memories together.

It's dedicated volunteers like him who help bring the magic of "Once Upon A Fair" to life each summer. 🎡

Help us show him some appreciation in the comments! 👏

🌟 The Taylor County Fair Board is excited to introduce and welcome our Future 4-H’ers to the Taylor County Fair! 🌟

We believe the future of our fair is bright, and it starts with the youngest members of our community. Future 4-H’ers have the opportunity to learn new skills, gain confidence, make friends, and experience all the fun and traditions that make our fair so special.

We are proud to support and encourage the next generation of exhibitors, leaders, and community members. We can’t wait to see these young participants grow and become part of the rich tradition of the Taylor County Fair.

💚🍀 The future starts here! 🍀💚

The Taylor County Fair Board is excited to expand the Future 4-Her show to provide new opportunities to the Future 4-Her's and current 4-Her's in our county.

The Future 4-Her show will now take place after the swine, sheep, goat show and in between the beef shows.

In conjunction with the show, the Taylor County Extension Office is offering the Future 4-Her mentor and mentee program this summer.

Future 4-Her's do not need a mentor to show, but the opportunity to be paired with one is an option.

Registration is required for these shows and are due to the Extension Office by July 14. If you have any questions about the Future 4-Her Show or the mentor program, please contact Kristen at the Extension Office at [email protected] or (712) 523-2137.

☘To sign up your Future 4-Her for the show and mentor program, use this link:
