Success StoryFranklin County Fair
Franklin County Fair
Author: Keenan Bishop
Planning Unit: Franklin County CES
Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development
Plan of Work: Developing informal and formal leadership skills for youth and adults
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Franklin County Fair was cancelled for 2020 due to the pandemic. The fair board disagreed on that decision and fractured. As a result, the majority of the board and executive officers resigned.
An executive officer and a couple young, less experienced board members as well as non-board members wanted to resurrect the Fair for 2021. They asked Extension to guide them through the process to reestablish the board and start the 2021 fair planning process.
Extension guided them through meeting planning, nominating for vacant positions and recruiting new board members. As a result, the county fair has a full executive board, new & committed board members and is well under way for a revitalized county fair in 2021.
