Carroll and Ottawa County Fair

Carroll County Fair

July 15th 2008

On Tuesday I headed north once again but this time I was heading for Carrollton, Ohio, home of the Carroll County Fair. That afternoon I was given the honor of crowning the new king and queen and their runner-ups. After that we then went for a quick stroll around the fairgrounds and visited all of the barns and exhibitor buildings. We even checked out the midway where a little boy got us with a stink bomb! It was a great day and looks like they will have great weather for their fair! Good luck to all the exhibitors and have fun!

Ottawa County Fair

July 16th 2008

Today I went up to Oak Harbor, Ohio, which is home of my 1st runner up, Rose Huskey. Rose and I met back in January at the Ohio Fair Managers Convention and got to know each other a bit through the queen's contest. Upon arrival I got to meet the newly crowned queen Ariel Estes and her King, Ruben Castillo, who gave me a tour of the grounds and then took me to the senior citizens luncheon where hundreds of folks came out to enjoy a great meal and a day at the fair. After helping serve lunch, I grabbed some of my own before heading off to help out with the beef show. While I was at the beef show I got to meet the 2007 Ottawa County Fair Queen, Miss Samantha Phillips, who will be running for my title in January, as well as Ariel.

Unfortunately during the beef show the electric went out across the fairgrounds and when I had left they still did not have power. Hopefully they got their power back up and running and were able to continue to put on another great Ottawa County Fair!
