Thank you to Eddie Farris for his continued support of the Putnam County Fair and the agricultural traditions that mean so much to our community.

We are grateful not only for Eddie’s support, but also for the dedication of his staff and the ongoing support we receive from Putnam County. The success of the fair is made possible through strong partnerships and a shared commitment to serving the families, youth, and agricultural community of Putnam County.

We appreciate the opportunity to attend tonight’s campaign kickoff and look forward to continuing to work together to preserve traditions, create new opportunities, and ensure the Putnam County Fair remains a place where generations can make memories for years to come.
