"It’s
a Tradition ~ FAIR : Make No Mistake,
Ag is #2 In The State, Come Experience It In ‘08"
Dear
Friends,
It is time again to welcome our many friends throughout the county
and area to visit the Suwannee County Fair and Youth Livestock Show
and Sale to be held March 28 - April 5, 2008. “Make
No Mistake, Ag is #2 In The State, Come Experience It In ‘08”.
As all of you struggle to raise “Good” kids and live
a productive life, so does The Suwannee County Fair strive to meet
the annual challenge of encouraging and celebrating the best in
our community. We open our buildings and grounds to all those who
want to enter the fruits of their labors for all to see. We reward
their talent, hard work and commitment with ribbons, trophies, prizes,
and premiums. Let us not forget the true value of our fair, a place
where parents and children can come to compete, meet other families,
and reap the rewards of months of hard work. Beyond the Midway rides,
the fun foods, and contests, the tractor pull, and farm equipment,
lie a way of life and a work ethic that is handed down from generation
to generation.
A special thanks to the men and women who head the departments along
with their volunteers whose efforts keep the Fair going. Only with
the support and participation of our local commercial businesses
and organizations can we enjoy such an event, therefore, we ask
that you in turn support their businesses during the year. Come
to the Fair and enjoy viewing, doing and learning from our exhibits
and entertainment.
WELCOME! To our 93rd Annual Suwannee County Fair Livestock Show
and Sale.
Sincerely,
Tim Alcorn
President |

Dear
Friends:
 |
Welcome
to the Suwannee County Fair,
and Youth Livestock Show.
Fairs are a distinct part of our American culture and we hope you,
your family and friends enjoy all the fair has to offer. Over five
million people visit Florida’s fairs each year to enjoy the
exhibits, programs, music, rides and games.
The Suwannee County Fair and Youth Livestock Show provides an annual
showcase for Florida’s agricultural industry. Agriculture
continues to be a major contributor to Florida’s economy with
an estimated overall economic impact of more than $87 billion. Please
take time to appreciate the efforts of youth groups such as FFA
and 4-H. Many of these young people have spent months preparing
the projects that you will see entered here.
As Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture, I have a profound
appreciation for the positive impact that fairs and livestock shows
have on the agriculture industry and I still share the same enthusiasm
for the excitement and thrills these shows bring to our local communities.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Suwannee County Fair and
Youth Livestock Show.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Bronson
Commissioner of Agriculture
