2012 Fair Managers Convention

2011 Ohio Fair Queen, Lara Staples, passed her crown over to Stark County Madison Weber at the 2012 Fair Managers Convention. Talking to fair board directors from all over the state we were told about Lara’s contributions as Queen to their county fair. Everyone was so impressed with her accomplishments (95 fairs, 18,000 miles, 8 days at the state fair, and 2 out of state fairs) personality and her smile. We would like to thank Lara for representing Brown Co. and hope all her dreams come true. At the awards banquet our own Becky Cropper won the Fair Supporter Award for District Four. We enjoyed another great convention with many new ideas and many topics of fair business covered by the state of Ohio.

Well I have to brag on my friend Bob Hardyman again this year. He has signed Aaron Tippin as our Tuesday night entertainment. Aaron’s songs include Where the stars and stripes and the eagles fly, Kiss this, Ain’t nothing wrong with the radio, and you’ve got to stand for something just to name a few. At the convention we saw many entertainers perform and we were impressed with a new performer Chris Higbee. A Charley Daniel style performer Chris is going to be the opening act for Aaron Tippin at the Brown County Fair. We hope to see you Tuesday night enjoying a night of great entertainment in the center ring. Thanks also to the Brown Co. Pork Producers for helping sponsor the entertainment on Tuesday Night.

Last year, at the N.T.P.A. Summer Tractor Pull and at the Brown Co. Fair you may have noticed a new booth selling Kentucky Whoopie Pies. This year they are helping to sponsor our Summer Pull and the Fair Pull. The Kentucky Whoopie Brown County Summer Nationals will be held on July 6 & 7 2012. Write these dates on your calendar and check out our Website: www.littlestatefair.com for all the details. Many of us watch R.F.D. television for shows, sales, and Tractor Pulls. Bob Neal has the Summer Tractor Pull ad on the sides of the sled at the N.T.P.A. Tractor Pulls you’ll watch this year. Hope to see you at the pull this summer and again the last week of September at the Little State Fair.

Some early decisions made by the fair board are: The theme for the 2012 Brown Co. Fair is: Celebrate our Past, Imagine our Future. The camper fee for this year is being raised to $200.00 but you receive 2 season passes with your camper fee. I’m not going to do trivia about the fair this year but if you would like to know about the history of our fair get the book The Big Story of the Little State Fair. The 2012 Brown Co. Fair is September 24th trough the 29th.
