FROM THE OFFICE OF THE FAIR MANAGER |
 By Kristi Wickstrom |
Welcome to the 118th Carlton County Fair! Our theme this year is “Nothing’s as Great in 2008 as the Carlton County Fair.” What makes us great? We offer something for everyone and are proud to be a family fair! Bring the family to experience our Livestock exhibits that are continuing to grow, visit with our many commercial vendors to see what’s new, and our educational displays covering all aspects of health and wellness, sample the Fair fare, go on some carnival rides and so much more. I’m still working on some exciting attractions so who knows what you’ll find… Another great aspect of our Fair is the Stipe Shows with their carnival. Mr. Barry Stipe and his sons, Mike and Kyle and their families, have been a mainstay at our Fair for many years. They take pride in their 3rd generation family business and love what they do. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the Stipes and feel they add a great deal to our Fair. Barry loves to watch the kids having fun. Please take time to thank the Stipes Family for their dedication to our Fair. Our Premium Book is dedicated to two great contributors of the Fair. Betty Gayle Carlson and Betty L Carlson. I had the pleasure of interviewing them both and am pleased to be able to introduce them to you in the Dedication article. A great new change for this year: All Open Class Exhibits (check livestock divisions for entry day and time) can be entered on Wednesday, August 13 between 11 am and 7 pm (Horticulture is 10am to 8pm). We decided to make Open Class Entry Day the same for all exhibit divisions to help with travel expenses. So those who enter in multiple divisions can do so in one trip and parents of 4Her’s can utilize the time to get their entries in too. All Open Class judging will take place on Thursday morning and will be done before or shortly after the gate opens at 11 am. I’d like to invite you to enter an exhibit or two or more in an area of interest. We have a division for everything so get creative and plan ahead! Please call the office or your division superintendent if you have questions. Our 2nd Annual Military Family Day is on Saturday, August 16. We think it’s a great way to recognize the families who sacrifice when their loved ones are off protecting our freedom. We thank you for this! Please contact your bases family liaison for information. Sappi is providing their employees and families complimentary gate passes. What a great way to award continues support and a job well done. The Board would like to thank Sappi and the families attending. If your business is interested in providing tickets please call the office at 389.6737. So many people, businesses, townships, communities, and cities contribute time, talents, and donations to make our Fair great. We want you to know that you are all greatly appreciated. Thank you and see you at the Fair! |
