I welcome you to another DeSoto County Fair; a place of good, clean family entertainment and fun. With your help we will have another banner year! Last year we broke many old records. Our attendance was great and our share from the midway proceeds was up - far exceeding previous years. Add to that the proceeds from the resale and feed purchases bought locally, the economic impact to the community was up over previous years also. 

 

As a result of your support we were able to pay more and better premiums to the kids. This past year 10 scholarships were awarded at the awards night at DHS. We ask you to support these efforts while visiting your County Fair.

 

In keeping with our community-mindedness and community support philosophies it was our pleasure once again this year to provide our grounds free of charge in support of the Arcadia Rodeo Association, the Arcadia Saddle Club’s Quadrille, Shoot Out Gang, Boy Scouts, DCYAA Football and Baseball, the Florida Sheriff’s Youth Ranches Summer Day Camp, the Sophomore and Junior Classes Home Coming Float construction and  a pre-designated Emergency assembly area. In addition to the grounds, the Fair’s  total parking revenue was donated to the  DeSoto County High School Sophomore and Junior Classes in support of their Junior and Senior Prom. 

 

We invite you to share in our community spirit and help support our hometown initiatives.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Vernon Keen

President
