Boone County Fair Board Prepares for Upcoming 4-H Fair with Extensive Planning

The Boone County 4-H Fair is gearing up for an exciting season, with preparations already in full swing, as highlighted in a recent Lebanon City Council meeting. Morgan Blackwell, the newly appointed fair board president, shared insights into the extensive planning that goes into organizing the fair, which kicks off with a tractor pull later this summer.

Blackwell emphasized that the planning process begins as early as September of the previous year, following a brief break in August. "It takes a lot of help, a lot of volunteers, and a great fair board," she noted, underscoring the collaborative effort required to bring the event to life. Monthly meetings are held to coordinate various aspects, from entertainment to volunteer assignments, ensuring that every detail is meticulously managed.

The fair's success relies heavily on the dedication of volunteers and staff, with Blackwell praising the facility team for their proactive support. "They've done an awesome job at not only staying in touch with us but also handling those little details that we just don't think about," she said.

As the community anticipates the fair, the behind-the-scenes work is a testament to the commitment of those involved, proving that such a beloved event is the result of months of hard work and collaboration. The Boone County 4-H Fair promises to be a highlight of the summer, showcasing the spirit and dedication of the local community.
