The Fulton County Fair is celebrating 100 years and officials honored some long-time supporters at the 2019 event.

The board of directors recognized Morris Hall with a plaque honoring him for his many years of service and support to the Fulton County Fair. Officials expressed their appreciation to Hall and his family for continuing the rodeo tradition in Salem.

In 1985, Hall used a bulldozer to carve a flat area out of a hillside. With the help of others in the community, the fairgrounds arena was added. Since that date, Hall has been involved in roping and rodeo events every year.

The board also recognized four long-time volunteers in the creative arts department. Honored were Edna French, Gail Plumlee, Imogene Crawford and Gloria Waszak.

Fair Manager Carolyn Lewis says, “These ladies have donated countless hours and years to the Fulton County Fair and on our 100th Anniversary we wanted to honor them and thank them for their dedication to the fair.”

The award was presented on judging day at the fair where a luncheon is provided for the volunteers in the creative arts department, the judges and fair board members.
