The Mercer County Fairboard Welcomes You to the 169th Mercer County Fair!

F

Welcome to the 2021 Mercer County Fair! It has been a challenging year, and we owe a huge thank you to the folks who continued to support the

fairgrounds year-round. I hope many of you have recognized the multiple ways that we tried to provide normalcy for you and your families during

the past year. It was our honor to serve our community and provide entertainment.

It is the Fair Board’s goal to grow and expand on the facility along with the activities that we host. This year you will see many new changes and

we feel that you will agree that they are improvements to our facility. Our organization would be doing our community a disservice if we were not

continually trying to improve our facility and events. With that being said, we are excited about what we have planned for you at the 2021 Mercer

A

County Fair.

With so many unknowns this year and new ways of doing this, it has been a challenge to get everything prepared for the 2021 Fair. Many of the

activities and events would not be possible if it were not for our office staff and board members. These individuals are hardworking and put in

countless hours year-round to make the fairgrounds the best it possibly can be. If you see a board member running around in a red shirt at the fair,

thank them for the time and effort that they put into the grounds.

I

Also, I wish to thank the County Commissioners and the County Maintenance workers. We appreciate that the Commissioners see the value in

the fairgrounds and help to support us. Maintenance workers are a blessing and are always willing to help us when a problem arises.

Many thanks to those of you attending the 2021 Fair. We are very grateful for all the vendors, exhibitors, and attendees who come out to support the Fair. Make sure to keep an

eye on our website, www. MercerCountyOhioFair.com, and our Facebook page for event updates. ---See You at the Fair!!

Words from BETH

The 4-H program like many other things this past year had to

look different and make us rethink how we participate.

That did not stop our volunteers and youth though from

growing, learning, and making a difference. Creativity and

perseverance kept our program alive and stronger. Although

we would have rather been together and followed our

traditional programming, we tried new things and found other

approaches for our success.

As you and your families enjoy this year’s fair, please take a

moment to observe the hard work our members put into

their livestock, food, clothing, and special interest projects. Every member should be proud of their

accomplishments and displays this year.

Our success would not be possible without the Mercer County Extension office staff. My co-workers

put in countless hours behind the scenes for our 4-H program; that time and dedication also carries

into the hard work of our advisors. Your volunteer efforts make a major positive impact on our

youth- thank you for all that you do!

Be sure to like Mercer County 4-H on Facebook or check out our website www.mercer.osu.edu for

the most current information about 4-H in our county. - Beth Guggenbiller - OSU Extension Agent
