In Loving Memory of Arthur W. Parks, Jr.
The Luzerne County Fair family is deeply saddened by the passing of Arthur W. Parks, Jr.
Arthur was more than a supporter of our fair—he was one of our own. As the former Head of Buildings and Grounds for the Luzerne County Fairgrounds, he dedicated countless hours to helping maintain and improve the fairgrounds we all enjoy today. His hard work, commitment, and pride in our fair left a lasting mark on our organization and community.
Arthur was also a proud veteran who served his country with honor in the U.S. Army and Federal Reserves, a dedicated member and past commander of the Daddow Isaacs American Legion Post 672, and a founding member of the American Legion Riders.
We are grateful for the years Arthur spent serving the Luzerne County Fair and for the friendships and memories he shared with so many of us. He will be remembered for his dedication, his willingness to help, and the positive impact he made on our fair family.
Please join us in extending our heartfelt condolences to Melanie, Tara, and the entire Parks family during this difficult time.
Rest easy, Arthur. Thank you for all you did for the Luzerne County Fair. You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. ❤️🌾🎡
