2016 Southern Iowa Fair Dedications Every year the Southern Iowa Fair likes to take the time to dedicate the fair to a certain person that attended the fair, enjoyed the fair, took part in the fair, and was well known for being a big fair supporter. This past year has been an unfortunate year as there are three individuals who have sadly passed away, that were all a part of the fair in some way or another. The Southern Iowa Fair Board would like to dedicate the 2016 fair to:

Martha McGlothlen, Jerry Hendricks, & Steve Van Maanen.

Martha was united in marriage to Rodger McGlothlen in 1955. Martha’s love of the fair started in the 1960’s when her husband Rodger was a 4-H leader for the West Des Moines Livewires.

Martha then went on to lend her helping hand to her children, Warren, Jeri & Rodney, with showing and preparing their cattle and Jeri’s horses for the fair. This tradition continued with her grandchildren. Martha loved watching her grandson, R.J., show his cattle and her granddaughter, Sydney, show horses and dogs at the fair. Martha was a very social lady who possessed a kind hearted concern for her family and friends. She enjoyed working with her children & grandchildren in 4-H, sewing, neighborhood club, playing cards, cooking, and baking.

She enjoyed being involved with the fair in many ways. Martha loved baking pies to enter in the open class at the fair and later became the Culinary Superintendent. She also sponsored trophies and prizes for numerous events during the fair. Martha also looked forward to taking tickets at the races every Wednesday night and lending a helping hand when needed. Her support, involvement, and spirit will be greatly missed by all.

Jerry has been around the fair scene for many years. He ran Hendricks Sound out of Fairfield. He provided sound for the Southern Iowa Fair as well as many other fairs in South Eastern Iowa for several years.

Jerry had a passion for sound and sound equipment. He always loved going fair to fair and visiting with the board members.

His friendly face and conversations will be greatly missed.

Steve has been a part of the Southern Iowa Fair since he was very young. Before he was old enough to show livestock himself, he helped his older brothers and sister with their projects. When he was ten he started showing hogs in 4-H. Winning was not as important to him as what he could learn from the project. Camping at the fair was always a highlight of his summer. That is a tradition he carried on with his own children.

As an adult, having his children participate in 4-H was encouraged, and Steve embraced the opportunity to teach them the same values he had learned through 4H. Not only did he support his own children with their projects, but also their friends. Steve found value in helping behind the scenes, and was always good for an encouraging word and a friendly smile which will be missed by many at the fair.

2015 Southern Iowa Fair Queen Maddison Stewart

Having the honor to serve as the 2015 Southern Iowa Fair Queen has been an unforgettable experience. The past year has been nothing short of amazing. It has been a year filled with emotions, learning, friendship, and growth. I am honored to have gained skills throughout my reign that will stay with me forever. I loved being able to represent Mahaska County, not only here in Mahaska County but also at the Iowa State Fair. I enjoyed being a role model for kids of Mahaska County and all the kids I interacted with at the Iowa State Fair. Thank you to all my friends and family for their support throughout this past year.

Antique Tractors & Engine Display South of Main Gate For Information Contact: Larry VanMersbergen

641-660-9605

2016 Featured Tractor 1965 Oliver Model #1650 Owned by Virgil & Bert Terpstra The event has grown to be the best County Fair show of antique equipment in the State of Iowa. The Southern Iowa Fair Board has been very supportive of the effort of many volunteers. The committee in charge is proud of the show and greatly appreciates all of the help and support.

Every year we strive to obtain more tractors and gas engines. We will also have several Cub Cadet Lawn mowers on display. The owner of each piece of displayed equipment receives a free button and magnetic plaque for coming. We have not charged to display equipment, as we feel it is our privilege to have someone bring equipment to the show.

The volunteers help make the show possible by serving ice cream Tuesday - Friday. In addition, Thursday evening they will serve stew and cornbread. Our guests greatly enjoy 35 gallons of the best beef stew made over an open fire in a big black pot.

The large hospitality tent seems to be a great gathering place during the fair, with people drinking coffee and swapping tall stories. It is a nice place to just sit and relax.

The committee has built an unloading dock at the fairgrounds to make it easier to unload and load equipment.

They have also purchased tables and equipment to serve and eat at, a trailer to store equipment in, plus many other items to improve the display.

You won’t want to miss the antique display of tractors, gas engines, and miniature displays of yesteryear. All tractors are welcome.

The show is supported by free will donations for the ice cream, food, and drink. Your generous donations are appreciated to help provide a bigger and better display each year.
