received the most prestigious honor of being named the 2024 Champion of Champions Fair by

honor possible, and the Greene County Fair previously received this distinction in 1963, 1988,
and 2005; and
WHEREAS, with the help of the community, volunteers devoted more than 8,000 work
hours to plan and execute the fair, which, in addition to hosting 32,000 attendees in 2024,

to beef, dairy, chicken, and sheep shows; and
WHEREAS, the Greene County Fair Board President Rick Clark, who has served the fair
in numerous capacities since 1999, is to be greatly commended for his hard work and
dedication to making the fair the best in its classification; and
