🌟👏 A huge THANK YOU to a few of our Crawford County Jr. Fair Board members — including our newest member, Lilly from Germany 🇩🇪🇺🇸 — for stepping up to give back!

This crew not only pitched in to clean part of the parade route through Lamotte Park in Palestine, but also showed what it means to support and serve other communities beyond the fairgrounds. 💚 Their teamwork, pride, and willingness to lend a hand are what make our fair family so special.

We’re excited to welcome Lilly to the group and can’t wait to see all she brings to our community this year! 🎉🙌

💥 If mud wasn’t in your hair, were you even at the derby?!
Last night was WILD—cars crashed, dirt flew, and we’re still digging mud out of places we didn’t know existed. 🚗💨💥

The drivers brought the heat (and maybe a few loose bumpers), and y’all packed the stands louder than a tailgate on turbo.

📸 We got the pics. You bring the tags. Let’s relive the carnage together.

Same time, same chaos next year.
Mark your calendar and maybe bring goggles. Just sayin’.
