Box 753 Livingston, Tennessee 38570 Watch for Nightly Specials! 1 This Fair Book is dedicated to Hoy Worley If you lived in or was in the Monroe area frequently, you probably knew Hoy Worley. He could be seen riding his bicycle or walking to and from town. People frequently picked him up, sometimes bicycle and all. Hoy seemed to know everyone. He never saw a stranger. If you ever met him once you would not forget him, nor would he forget you. Hoy loved the fair. Each year he would make his way to the fair as many nights as he possibly could, especially on the nights of the horse shows. He was our “official gateman”. He spent endless hours opening and closing the arena gates to let horses in and out of the arena for many years and enjoyed every minute of it. He loved hanging out around the announcers booth, walking through the crowd talking to people and coming to the office to visit the fair board members. One year he was presented with a plaque for his endless hours of dedication to being the “Gateman”. Although he will not be there this year in person, you can bet he will be there in our memories, for Hoy will be forever a part of the Overton County Fair. His hard work and dedication will never be forgotten. As Hoy would say Ta-Ta! 2 In Loving Memory Mrs. Iolene Ford Mother of Board Member Donita Moore Mrs. Mildred Hammock Mother of Board Member Terry Hammock Mrs. Pauline Staggs Wife of Board Member W.J.
