hand.
Doris
Schultz
Doris joined the board in the 1970's. Doris
was responsible for keeping the office attended, answering the phone, keeping
the office clean and to make the coffee. Computers were not used then so a lot
of paper work was done such as all the premium money had to be hand written and
sorted. Doris helped with 4-H setup at the fair when the exhibits were
displayed in the Armory. A trailer house was moved in to use a the fair office.
While Doris was on the board the grandstands were built, Expo Center was built,
barns were moved in and built. The horse barn was built to house them during
the fair. The Expo Center has proved to be a great asset to the fair which
includes a nice office.

fair and with any other things that the board needed help with. Helen joined
the board to finish out the term of her husband, Larry, who passed away
