BEST OF BEST

BEST OF BEST — The Obion County Fair was named AA Premier Fair during the 101st Tennessee Association of Fairs (TAF) annual convention, which was held last week at the Embassy Hotel & Convention Center in Murfreesboro. Obion County Fair first vice president Blake Laws said the local fair competed against Clay County Fair (A) and Cumberland County Fair (AAA) for the Champion of Champions award after each fair won their divisions at the 2022 TAF Convention. In addition to being named Premier Fair, the Obion County Fair brought home second place for Non-Premium Tabloid and third place for Social Media Collage. Laws was also elected to serve as first vice president on the TAF board of directors. Board members attended break-out sessions and networked with other fair boards from across the state. Entertainment was booked for the upcoming 65th annual Obion County Fair, which will be held Aug. 19-26. Among those representing Obion County were (from left) board members Rick Goodman and Leroy Crumble, volunteer Teresa Crumble (seated), Fairest of the Fair Sara Beth Key, president Craig McManus, Laws, second vice president Lori Berner, youth board member Amy Lynch and board member Tammy Sparks. Also at the convention were (not pictured) board members Kristi Townes and Jamie Adams.
