Honoring Your Lasting Impact

With heartfelt appreciation The Owen County Fair Board would like to extend our deepest gratitude to three outstanding individuals for their many years of dedicated service to the Owen County Fair:

JENNY COYLE

Thank you for your 38 years of faithful service (1985–2023) as a Director of the Owen County Fair. Your unwavering commitment and versatility—serving as Director, Advertising Coordinator, Vice President, Small Children’s Pageant Superintendent, gate worker, concession stand volunteer, and Family Fun Night planner—have left a lasting legacy. Your passion and leadership have helped shape the fair into what it is today.

TOM OLDS

We are incredibly grateful for your remarkable 41 years of service (1983–2024). As Director and President, you played a vital role in planning the Area Worship Service, working the gates, volunteering at the concession stand, and most notably, planning and participating in the Walking Horse Shows— your greatest love. Your dedication has been a cornerstone of our fair’s success.

TERESA ROBERTS

With 34 years of service (1985-2024), you have continued a proud family tradition. Starting as Advertising Director, you contributed tirelessly by working the gates, helping in the concession stand, and following in your father’s footsteps to help plan the Walking Horse Show. Your devotion to the fair and community has made a meaningful impact.

Their love for the Owen County Fair and our community has helped make out events not only successful but truly special.

Thank you, Jenny, Tom, and Teresa, for your extraordinary service and commitment. You will always be an integral part of the Owen County Fair family!
