Working my first Brown Co. Fair last year, Barb Howser ask me to find “Ground Hog” to get some gates for the Beef Barn. My first question , who’s Ground Hog? Through the rest of the week I met him, observed him, and got to talk to him. He seemed to always know what to do next and there to help with any problem. The Senior Fairboard had decided to have Bob (Ground Hog) and Nancy Connor as our 2010 Grand Marshal’s. We lost Ground Hog a couple of weeks ago and our sympathy and prayers go out to Nancy and her family. He will be missed.
Brown County Fair Talent Show will be a new addition to the 2010 Brown County Fair. All the details and an entry form will be in the Fair Book. Prize money starts at $500 dollars for first place, down to $100 for fifth place. The Music will be family oriented and in good taste. All ages with written parents consent for 17 years old and under may compete. No Bands and you must have your own music on C.D.’s. There will be a $25.00 entry fee to compete and you must pay your own way in to the fair.
