In Loving Memory of Miss Betty Nix 🤍

The Four States Fair family is deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Miss Betty Nix.

For more than 50 years, Miss Betty was a part of the Four States Fair. Generations of fairgoers, exhibitors, volunteers, and staff knew her, and her dedication helped shape the Fair into what it is today.

Miss Betty was more than an employee—she was part of the heart, history, and legacy of the Four States Fair. Her impact will forever be woven into our story, and we are incredibly grateful for the many years she gave to this organization and our community.

We extend our deepest sympathy to her family and all who loved her. Please join us in keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.
Once Fair Family, Always Fair Family. 🤍

Rest well, Miss Betty. Your legacy will live on at the Four States Fair for generations to come.

We’re incredibly thankful for the AYE Beef Support Syndicate and the breeders, exhibitors, sponsors, and supporters who continue to step up for the cattle department at AYE.

Because of their generosity, the Beef Support Syndicate is once again providing added cash awards for our cattle exhibitors this year, including:

$10,000 — Champion Steer
$5,000 — Supreme Registered Heifer
$3,000 — Supreme Commercial Heifer
$3,000 — Supreme American Breeds Heifer
$3,000 — Supreme Champion Bull

Additional cash awards will also be presented to Reserve Supremes and Third Overall in each division.

Support like this is what makes AYE special. We’re grateful for a group that believes in these exhibitors, invests in their hard work, and continues to find ways to make their experience in Texarkana even more memorable.

A huge THANK YOU to the AYE Beef Support Syndicate and everyone who has contributed. We can’t wait to hand out some big checks in Texarkana!
