Mild weather helped make this year’s fair a major success

Milder than usual weather and a variety of events and attractions helped make the Newton County Pun’kin Vine Fair a success once again.

“It was a long week and we didn’t have a full crew, but all-inall it was a very good fair,” said Fair Board President Rick Dawson. “I believe overall attendance was a little up this year and from what I have heard, mostly everyone had a great time. The weath-

er has never been that cool for fair week since I have been on the board, and I’m sure that helped with attendance. I have heard nothing but positive feedback.”

While there was some rain early in the week, most of the events went on without a hitch.

“We had our hands full Monday with the rain but we were able to get the Little Miss and Mister contest and queen pageant on with no major problems,” added Dawson. “The tractor and truck pull

was new and I feel they were a success.

The Josh Turner was not a sell out but we estimated around 2,800 people in attendance. He put on a good show and the people really enjoyed it. We also had one of our best crowds for the rodeo this year.”

“Without the help from the fair board and our sponsors, the fair wouldn’t be a success that it is each year,” said Dawson.

“Everyone involved did an amazing job and it is all appreciated.”
