Forty-four individuals and one group were recently recognized at the 94th Ohio Fair Managers Association convention at the Greater Columbus Convention Center for outstanding service to their local fairs.

Ohio Department of Agriculture Interim Director Tim Derickson presented each winner with a certificate.

Included among the recipients was Jason Snyder, President of the Richland County Agricultural Society that holds the fair each year.

Ohio’s 94 county and independent fairs and the Ohio State Fair support the local economy and help educate the public about the importance of agriculture and the many necessities it provides, including food, clothing, shelter, fuel and energy.
