Williams County Fair - Fair Tour 2006
September 18, 2006
With the last week of summer, the Williams County Fair closes out our Fair Tour 2006 series. Guided by Cathy Pratt and Kevin Cluts (WBGU Major Gifts Officer) you'll discover the ins and outs of the Williams County Fair. You'll learn the history behind the 15 foot wood carved grizzly bear and one of the great landmarks of the Williams County Fair Grounds ...the 2 lane, 120ft. covered bridge! Gaylene Carpenter (Williams County Fair Administrator/ Secretary/ Treasurer) elaborates on the van derby, flowers and scare crows that will knock your socks off. Ed Roth (Williams County Past WBGU PACT member)... not "Big Daddy," relays his experiences with WBGU and eludes to his 1922 Dodge Touring Car. Gary St. John (Williams County Economic Development Corporation and Village Administrator of Stryker) talks about the economic forecast and benefits of this area. Finally, Jeff Dick (Extension Educator) talks about new events featured at the fair: the baby animals tent, and the Traveling Vietnam Veterans Wall. Hope you enjoyed our series and thanks for enjoying the fairs with us!
