Citrus County Fair

61 years ago the Citrus County Fair moved to the Inverness fairgrounds.

Six weeks ago we formed a committee of myself, Gail Grimm, Kathy Androski, Heather Bishop, Brenden Bonomo, Mike Breder, Linda Wiestner, and Helen Pannelli, to design the fair booth for the Citrus County School Board's exhibit.

We wanted to make it an open, welcoming exhibit, using technology as well as images. An Imagination Library video will be displayed, as well as a computer station that will be available for parents to see and use the Fast Math program that our elementary kids use.

The team designed the booth, and last Saturday afternoon those who could met at the fairground put it together.

Stop by the Fair this week and check out the exhibit. We're already making plans for next year - when we'll include an exhibit for the history of Citrus County schools. If any of our district Social Studies teachers are interested in joining us and contributing their expertise in the school history portion, let me know.

Below are some of the images from Saturday.


We met at 2:30, unloaded my pickup truck, moved tables, and put on the table cloths. THEN I remembered to take a beginning picture.





Committee members and their families worked until 4:30 implementing the design, putting up the display, cleaning up, and making plans for next year.



The final product:

A hearty thanks to the committee for their plans, efforts, and contributions.
