Welcome to the 164th Annual Crawford County Fair The Board of Crawford County Commissioners wish to give a sincere Thank You to all the hard working people of our community who have dedicated their time and energy in order to make this year’s fair a great success. The future of our community depends on activities such as the fair in order for our future leaders to learn the skills they need to succeed in life like dedication, commitment, honesty and hard work. Skills they will need in the workplace in order to be contributing members of our society. Thank you for being part of the best family fun time of the summer. Board of Commissioners Crawford County, Ohio Doug Weisenauer Tim Ley Larry Schmidt 1 2021 OUTSTANDING FAIR SUPPORTER The Crawford County Agricultural Society nominates Tom Presler for the 2021 Outstanding fair supporter. Tom has been the gates supervisor for the last 13 years, where he has been instrumental in helping to find innovative ways to keep the gates flowing as well as stop the counterfeiting of tickets. Tom enjoyed the comradery of the gate volunteers as well as the occasional confrontational problem solving. In Tom’s last year as gates supervisor we implemented sponsored hand stamps and Tom did everything he could to make the transition run as smooth as possible. Even getting fair board members to volunteer to run a gate or two a day to keep things running. Tom is married to Karen, of 47 years and they have 2 sons and 1 daughter with 5 grandchildren. Tom graduated from Buckeye Central in the summer of ‘69 and is a Vietnam veteran. Tom has been retired from Northmor Local Schools where he served as athletic director and coached girls’ basketball and golf, where they won a district title. Tom enjoys having cookouts, and golfing with friends as well as spending time with his grandchildren. We thank Tom for his dedicated service to both our country and our fair. Tom has tough shoes to fill but we know he will be around to ask questions and be a mentor to the new gate supervisors. 2 IN MEMORY OF ROBERT “BOB” MARTIN The 2021 Crawford County Fair premium book is dedicated to the memory of Robert L. Martin. (1935-2020). Bob had been named the Crawford County Fair outstanding supporter in 1999 for all his efforts and work as fair electrician for then 47 years. In 2013 he retired from the fair board as our electrician with 60 years “under his belt”. He received a service commendation at that point. He was an expert electrician. As one could imagine, he was involved in every building and grounds improvement project in those 60 years. He took great pride in his work and the fair buildings functionality. He enjoyed working with all the entertainers that the fair board hired. His love of the fair was shown in all his donations of time and work on so many projects. He loved to relive and tell his stories from all the fairs that he had been through. He never once had a “loss of words”. Bob loved to hunt and fish along with his wife Bea. They made many spring and fall trips to their cabin on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. Bob and Bea had been married for sixty years when he passed on December 29th, 2020. 3 alf C mble ra c S MONDAY, JULY 19TH at 7:00 PM FREE IN FRONT OF THE GRANDSTAND Ages: 15 years and up Register for $10 in the fair secretary's office or on the website www.crawfordcofair.com $ CASH PRIZES $ for each calf caught & haltered correctly.
