Huron Community Fair Board honors Ruth couple Bischers recognized for supporting the fair for about 40 years BY ANDREW MULLIN Tribune Staff Writer HURON COUNTY — For their donations and support for roughly 40 years, Janet and Melvin Bischer have been recognized as some of this year’s Friends of the Fair. Fair president Clark Brock said the community fair board has recognized people who have supported the fair over the course of many years since 2012. The support could be through either time or money. Brock said Janet and Melvin Bischer were chosen because of their helpfulness with fair projects and their support of the youth at the fair. “We knew if we had a need and asked

daughter, said they partner with a company called Bischer Ready Mix, which supplies services like landscaping and
concrete mixes. They have donated things like concrete, water, sand sawdust and bedding for the animals. Along with that, Janet said she and Melvin have bought livestock from youth at the fair. Janet said they have been big supporters of youth agriculture. They want to give young people the opportunities they have had over their many years of farming. Janet and Melvin bought their farm 59 years ago, starting with only $9 to their names. Melvin said farming has been a generational thing, with their parents being farmers along with their grandchildren. Melvin has been going to the fair for a long time, with him going as a kid during World War II. He said the fair never stops changing and he hopes it continues to stay active. Brock said friends of the fair receive plaques, their names on a billboard at the fair, and recognition at the junior livestock event on Friday of fair week.
