2009 GEORGETOWN FAIR DEDICATION

    Norma Davis and Barb Jones


The Georgetown Fair  is pleased to honor Norma  Davis and Barb Jones with the dedication of the 2009 Georgetown  Fair. These two ladies are richly deserving.  They have produced one of our fair’s grandstand shows for 30 years.  Their promotion, organization and presentation of our Georgetown Fair Talent Contest has been a special event each year.  Their efforts are appreciated by our Georgetown Fair Family.

Norma and Barb are retiring from the Talent Show Directors after the 2009 Fair.  They will be missed.  Their consistent efforts to excel and for the show to be outstanding entertainment have made this activity one of our most enjoyable shows for years. 

The most important aspect of the Talent Show is the opportunity it offers for our youth.  The chance to perform “under the lights” on stage in front of the crowd is a great experience for our youth.  Norma and Barb have sent many winners to the annual state competition in Springfield.    They have consistently had Top 10 finalists with several winning the state. 

Norma and Barb, your leaving creates a void in the hearts of our fair association supporters.  Your generous and constant efforts on behalf of the fair will be missed by many fair enthusiasts.

The Georgetown Fair is pleased and proud to dedicate the 2009 Georgetown Fair to Norma and Barb.  You have certainly earned the honor.  Thank you both for your many contributions.

 2009 PREMIUM BOOK DEDICATION


    Colleen Morrison

It is with great pride and a tremendous amount of gratitude and respect that the Georgetown Fair proudly dedicates our 2009 Premium Book to Colleen Morrison, Superintendent of our Home Economics Antique Department.  Colleen is retiring from her position after the 2009 fair.  She will be greatly missed. 

Colleen is a worker.  She works for days ahead of the fair opening to make certain her exhibit space is clean and that all needed equipment is in place and functioning correctly.  She is dedicated to making her exhibit better each fair season.  She has worked hand in hand with her cohorts and has participated in representing the fair theme in their exhibit presentation.  These efforts have won two 1st place awards from the International Association of Fairs and Exhibitions for Best Use of a Fair Theme.

Colleen Morrison is an icon in the Home Ec. Department at the Georgetown Fair.  We wish her well as she retires from her fair duties.  Colleen, the Georgetown Fair Association is pleased to dedicate our 2009 Premium Book in your honor.  You richly deserve it.
