The 117th annual fair would not have been possible without all the folks behind-the-scenes. Some groups and individuals singled out for awards in recognition of their outstanding efforts included:
The Lost Children’s Booth is that special spot for youngsters who can’t find their parents after going on a carnival ride or wandering through an exhibit building. Run by Mercy Medical Center, the booth in the shade of the Grandstand is where lost kids wait to be found. Janice Wilkerson, the Mission Integration Director for Mercy Medical Center, who oversees the fair’s Lost Children’s Booth, was recently given the Western Fairs Association’s 2008 Blue Ribbon Award, the highest honor offered by the group.
